I recently discovered isolation tanks, or aka flotation tanks. Look them up, pretty sweet. They essentially aid in the process of disconnecting from your physical senses. Seriously, look them up. They use incredible amounts of salt to provide a buoyant floating experience. So yeah, I stumbled upon that, cool right? I'll never be able to afford it but I know about it now and it reminds me of things I've seen in some movies like the one with Tom Cruise where they can predict the future, he's some sort of cop. There is a scene where 3 females were lying in water and they were the psychics that powered the machine or something. So now I'm visualizing this isolation tank along the same lines, now look up i-sopod, those look really cool. Alright so now that this information is stored in your brain let me tell you something else.

I've been practicing clearing my mind and just letting things jump out at me, acknowledge them and push them away again. You can practice this while meditating or even walking down the street. I feel if my higher self is going to contact me, or even yours contact you for that matter, our minds have to blank and ready to accept what they have to offer. So yeah, my mind is blank, im cleaning my apartment like a maniac just listening to music and I'm in the zone. I glance over this book that my teacher gave me a few years back that I have never even read but I keep around because of sentimental value, my teacher liked me so she gave me a book so it's special to me. Well yeah, I glance over this box and I see the narrow spine of the book, I turn around and walk away doing whatever it was I was doing. Then I just stopped, turned around, grabbed the book, let the book fall open in my hands. I read the two pages that fell open. The book is part of a series, "His Dark Materials". This book is about peoples souls living outside of their bodies called Daemons. So now in my life, I'm studying how everyone has a higher self, a true self that is with us every second of their lives. I could get into explaining it but you can just research it, you will find it. So yeah this book I picked up, I read the first two pages. Lyra(main character) and her Daemon(her soul) was talking, Lyra told her soul she was leaving, she had to find someone in Jericho. She was going to leave a window open so her daemon could travel back and forth through worlds so he could find her. Aright so right here, after I read this I was so overwhelmed, like what the hell. I'm learning about this "window" called astral projection right now, and in the book she said she is leaving a window open. We are essentially projecting and finding our souls, our higher selves, our daemons. That is what she's talking about in the book, leaving the window open for her daemon to find her. So by this point I'm 110% this is my higher self speaking to me through the things I have around me. Right at the end of the page it said, "Can you read..." as if my higher self was saying, it's right in front of you, I'm telling you in plain english.

So after I read this and came to this conclusion, I emptied my mind. I thought, "maybe I'm onto something, I got to let this stuff have a chance to show itself to me." I let my thought become empty, I reread the pages, I underlined words that felt like they had "deeper" meaning, I don't know how to describe it, the words just felt important. So this is what I got,

The message I have found for myself reads,
"He lives in Jericho, Which is where I should be now? Search through the untidy bookshelves for a map of the city. He's coming back in our homeland, so this is what we'll do. I'll leave this window open for you and you can shelter in here, and fly out whenever you need to. I shall come back at... Can you read"

So yeah I don't know what this means but I looked up Jericho, turns out there is a few interesting things about this place. Jericho is a village in Jordan north end of the Dead sea. It was also the first place taken by the Israelites under Joshua. It is also referred to as the Promise Land. Also, in Jericho lies one of the original 7 wonders of the world, the hanging gardens. So I looked into the hanging gardens and turns out they are being destroyed by people revolting against their leaders. The seven gardens is a very sacred place, why I don't know but I feel drawn to the information of the place. If you know anything about any of this PLEEEEASE inform me.

All right, so I'm on the phone this morning shooting the crap with my friend and I get into the Dead sea topic and isolation tanks. He tells me how the Dead Sea has the highest amount of salt for any body of water on the earth. Umm, excuse my language, but are you shitting me guys? So isolation tanks and the Dead Sea have the same consistency pretty much. So this little passage that stuck out at me in this book lead me into finding out about the hanging gardens and the Dead Sea. Also, I feel like the name Promise Land is important as well. There is more to this message I just can't put my thumb on it, any thoughts guys? I am almost positive this is a message from my higher self. Has anyone got this type of message from their higher selves before? I feel as though because I haven't actually met mine yet in a projection or a dream this might be the way he would communicate with me.

I also want to point out, everything happens for a reason. Everyone exists with a purpose in life, you reading this right here is simply because you were meant to. That book was a premeditated idea from the creator, I was meant to have it, whether or not I planned on reading it. It served a purpose. Remember that when you live your life, everything that occurs in that very day is meant for you to have an experience. Whether good or bad it's your decision, the experience is up to you.

Namaste and love to all of you

I also want to point out that this message might not even be directed to you. Me writing this thread right now could be meant for someone else to read so they can learn what they need to learn. Remember that whatever knowledge you stumbled upon might not be meant for you, share it with the world and let it find the right person. We are all here for one great purpose, we all meet in the end for one large picture, try to imagine that.

Namaste and love to all of you

I have been searching youtube just kind of letting my brain wander. I stumbled upon some clips of Joe Rogan talking about these isolation tanks. How does this community feel about them? What do we know about using them to achieve self awareness?

Namaste

Haha, amusing. I was under the impression that we are all light beings from different places around the multiverse. Maybe I misunderstood.

Hi, my name is Ryan. I am starting discover a lot of things about myself, I am on the path of learning and understanding. I have yet to open my minds eye or see auras or anything of that sort. But I have been listening to the youtube videos, "Galactic Federation of Light" from two different people, I'm under the impression these people, or beings are E.T.s or aliens? Well I don't like using words like this because it has predefined outlandish definitions. So I will refer to them simply as our brothers and sisters for now. So back to my point, how do you find out what galaxy you are from? What galaxy are you from? Is there anyway for you to find out what galaxy I'm from? How can I find out for my own?

I seek guidance,
Namaste

Journal 3/7/11 2:19 PM

Issues that need to be worked on

•   Again, I'd say diet. I recently discovered certain colored food effect certain chakras on your body. Also about sodium fluoride in toothpaste and paste, as well aluminum in your deodorant. This pretty much coats your pineal gland.
•   Having an open mind to the unseen, or at least the unseen as of now.
•   A daily structure of practice to help tune my internal clock for preparation
•   This is really all I can think of at the moment.

Practicing Techniques

I want to point out that yesterday I kind of took it easy on the research and what not. I wanted to give my mind a day to relax and let the knowledge I've gathered in the last week absorb into my brain. I just kind of let it all float around. With that being said here is what I did. Also, I still want to point out as a child, and a teenager I have been sort of close minded to certain things. When my sister and I visited a psychic I witnessed this lady do this channeling process, she described all the pain he had experienced when he died. Well needless to say she was on point with everything. From then on I knew there was more to this whole picture of "life". I then decided within my own mind that psychics were born that way and they were purely special people. I am now discovering I am wrong, we are all special.
•   So I listened to Tool and just kind of vegged out. I listened to Maynard speak of the astral plane and how he felt about it. I listened to how it was for him to describe certain aspects as I've shared that same feeling already.
•   I did some of those eye tests I posted yesterday and practiced that for a little while
•   I also attempted to view the aura of a few people, I believe I seen a vague impression but I can't tell if that's actually an aura or if that's just my mind providing a visual simply because I want to see it. Lol, my girlfriend said to me, "Stop looking at me so funny, you are creeping me at." So I stopped for a little while.
•   I also decided in my own mind, the pineal gland is it's own sensor, as is the sense of touch. I also read that auric eyes is essentially the merging of the pineal gland sensor with the physical eyes sensor, allowing the physical eyes to provide a visual for the pineal gland. Something like that, but I just concentrated on that and reassuring myself that is how it works.
•   I have been practicing my own technique(I say my own because I haven't yet seen someone discuss something like this) of simply telling my brain, "This is how it works, whether or not it sounds logical, this is how it works, period." I personally do this because I am close minded to things that sound illogical, I feel this helps me accept the information I discover. Any opinions on that?
•   I also rubbed my chakra spots to stimulate them and pretty much say, "Hey I know you are there!" This seems to provide a tingling sensation, again I don't know if this simply because my mind wants there to be a sensation or this is in fact my chakras responding.
•   I tried to visualize for most of the day energy traveling through my whole body. I believe that is very important, not sure why yet. But it's hard to keep the image. I imagine it's like breathing, you know you are doing it but you aren't focused on it, it just works. So I'm trying to make it a 24/7 visual without really being aware I'm focusing on it, it's hard to explain how my mind is showing it to me at this very moment.
•   I mean I guess this pretty much covers it, I tried not to focus on research, just letting it absorb. Oh, yeah, one of the biggest things that I think helps is this journal right here. It helps my brain break all of it down, it pretty much forces my mind to regress through all the information and make sense of it. I highly recommend making a journal. Whether or not someone is reading it, it allows you to show yourself what you have gathered so far.


Third Experience

Alright so this experience is the most interesting by far, considering I wasn't even intending to astral project or anything of that nature. I lied down in bed and simply focused on the energy within my body and I tried to see my aura for a good part of the night.

•   I fell asleep, felt pretty deep and heavy.
•   I imagine I wasn't dreaming for a good while or maybe I was just never aware enough to remember the dreams, I don't know.
•   Then suddenly, a dream began, I was running through an airport with someone. I was hauling butt so fast it was crazy, I felt overwhelmed. People were chasing us.
•   Then again, the same feeling I described yesterday, it hit me like a bag of rocks right to the face. I was dreaming.
•   Still running next to the guy I look at him and yelled, "Stop dude! It's a dream." But the guy seemed to pre-animated, he didn't really acknowledge what I said, as if he simply didn't understand the words.
•   I stopped running figuring he simply wasn't going to stop because he wasn't "programmed" to stop, if you will? I don't know how to explain it, but I'm a big nerd so I see it as software of hardware can only do what it's programmed to do. This guy simply didn't have it in him to understand the words dream or stop.
•   So yeah, I stopped running and thought to myself if this is a dream, and I'm fully aware it's a dream maybe I can finally practice a projection technique.
•   I closed my eyes and let everything in the dream slip away.
•   I tried thinking of what Dero said about the vortex. I then thought, "hell if this works, where do I want to go. I'll go to my apartment and maybe I can check out my girlfriend and I sleeping. That'll be cool"
•   So I kept my eyes shut and imagined the vortex and I tried to spin my feet in a circle so I could spin. Well it felt like as soon as I thought of spinning my body just took off spinning(it didn't feel like I had a body more so just being there in general)
•   I want to make this clear, like it feels so important to say this. When I began to feel the sensation of spinning it felt faster than how ever fast you can spin on your feet, it's not humanly possible to spin as fast as I felt I was going. This is so hard to word because I never felt it before, so I guess I can't make it clear.
•   After a second or two of spinning I literally felt my body just disassociated from everything, like imagine a fire crackling and you see the embers kind of like float and glow away and the light just fades out before it hits the ground. But all in a much faster manner. I also want to point out with my past 2 experiences I describe a tunnel feeling, like that of being on a train going through a subway. This feeling is overwhelming right here as I feel this.
•   I would like to say that this stage, this feeling, this sensation was what appeared to be completely black. I look at this as the fuzziness between radio stations, or the white static on tv when adjusting the antenna. I feel as though I was going between some sort of frequency. I don't know this is all so confusing.
•   So after I felt this sensation I popped right up into another dream. It was day time, I was in the bathroom with someone. What am I doing in the bathroom? The light was so bright. Summer or spring?
•   At first I was unaware it was a dream. I started to fade into the storyline of the dream. There was my girlfriends friend, Vanessa. We were in the bathroom admiring how nice it was, we were looking at Vanessa and my girlfriends new apartment. We were fascinated with a quotation we found underneath broken wall tile. It said something, in the dream if you walked up to me and told me to repeat it I'd of had it on the money, but now it's so far away. I think this has some significance to me but hell I'll never remember now.
•   Then it hit me again like another bag of rocks right to the kisser, I was dreaming.
•   But wait, this is my apartment? Why am I not going to be living here? Why is her friend here who I haven't seen in years? What is going on?
•   Then it fades out, That's all I can remember. Right back into the blackness of my sleep. Maybe I was in that frequency staged I mentioned earlier but I was completely unaware at this time.
•   Then it fades into another dream again, again I was running. We were running from someone, a group of people. I could tell you exactly what the room looks like but I feel that has no significance. I'll tell you the general feel of the scenario. It felt advanced, futuristic. The building or structure I was running through was made out of a material that almost seemed plastic, but in the dream I had the sensation of knowledge that it was more advanced than plastic and ever tougher than concrete but easier to work with. Easier to build advanced looking structures but yet so much stronger.
•   So yeah, I'm running and then I realize for the third time I'm dreaming, I think it's important to say that in each dream I was completely and absolutely unaware of the other dreams I had before or am I about to have. In each dream it felt like its own.
•   I stopped running, closed my eyes. I accepted the blackness, I began the process of the spinning sensation. I was gone again in a blackness but this time so completely unaware of anything being there. I honestly think at this point I just fell back asleep.
•   I awoke in the middle of the night sometime later not remembering any of the dreams, just tired and a little groggy. Maybe the neighbors woke me up, who knows?
•   I fell back asleep, after awhile I found myself in another damn dream, again not knowing how many I have already had. This felt in every way unique on it's own.
•   I was in a dark gloomy apartment. Again, I could describe the layout of the room but I feel it has no significance. I was in a room with my girlfriend and maybe someone else,
•   We were in deep conversation and I remembering feeling happiness of communication, I love talking to people and just sharing my knowledge and learning theirs as well.
•   She asked me if I could get here some cigarettes, I want to say in actuality I hate her smoking. Well hate is a strong word, so let's say this. I love her and I want what's best for her and that is not it.
•   In the dream I said, "Heck yeah, I'll go some for you right now! Hold on." I got up walked into the living room, walked into the kitchen. There was a girl in there who was interested in me. I kind of brushed her off because I love my girlfriend and she was present in the house. I looked into the room right in front of me, I yelled for some cigarettes. The door opened, there was my nemesis from my childhood. I never liked fights and I was always nervous of confrontation, it's just not me. He glared at me, but I stood there. He ended up being the one to give the cigarettes to me.
•   I gave her the cigarettes and then I woke up.
•   I lied in bed wondering, struggling to remember if I had dreamed the night before.
•   They started to flow in like water into my brain. It almost felt as if all the images, all the dreams merged into one file and just downloaded into my brain and I knew all the information at once. I don't know how to explain it.
•   I almost remember a 5th dream of being in the woods with an old friend of mine. But nothing significant.
That's pretty much it.

Conclusion
1.   Practice techniques
a.   Reassurance – Pretty much just telling my brain this is how it works, this seems to help me
b.   Focus on energy flow – I have been visualizing energy flow through my body and so far it makes me generally happier
c.   Focusing on love – this is one I picked up today, think of when you hold your child or your niece or nephew, or your baby brother or sister, when you hug someone you love. Think of that feeling in your chest when you feel what you consider love, try to bring that to your focus where your minds eye is. Hold that feeling of love, and it just helps you feel better.
d.   Research – The more you understand the easier it is to accept.
e.   Chakra stimulation – I have been rubbing my chakra energy points to "awaken" them.
f.   Dream remembering – I tell my mind that remembering dreams is good for my overall well-being. This will help me learn and grow, and I love knowledge so any chance to learn should be fully taken advantage of. I'm hoping this instinct for knowledge will kick over into my sleep.
g.   Breaking down the close-mindedness – This "reality" that has been created around us does not limit us to who we are or what we are capable of. A very close person to me told me recently atoms are 99.99% empty. I'm the type of person(or I was) who only believes in what they see, so you mean to tell me I have only been believing in the 1% I can see? OPEN YOUR MIND, this is my current goal.
h.   Structure – I should have a time everyday that I need to do this journal by, I need to build a structure within myself so my mind knows when its time to progress backwards through the memories of dreams I have. We are very organized creatures at the center, create routine for your body to follow. I am answering my own questions as I type this journal right now.
i.   Diet – Learn and understand how the food on this earth effect or energy cores. Add structure to my diet so I can stay on course.
j.   Will power – Turn my mind into an arrow head and stay true and on point to the things I need, like; structure, diet, and peace within myself.
As you can see I have a lot of things I need to work on. This is why I write this so it puts in front of me and gives me something to abide by.
2.   Dreams
a.   Just in the past few days I feel as though my ability to remember dreams has increased greatly
b.   Last night I can recall 5 dreams
c.   Out of the 5 dreams I regained awareness 3 times.
d.   Out of the 3 times I willing pulled myself out of the dream 2 times
e.   Last night was a truly amazing experience when it comes to the dream factor.

This journey is all so unreal, as I'm sitting here thinking I have this sense of butterflies. I have always been so sure of more but at the same time I break everything down into logics. I have never seen logicality to say bending a spoon with your mind, but turns out its essentially possible. I am now great friends with a person who has this ability. There is no denying the things I have blocked out for my whole life. I want the people who read this to realize I am a kid, a 21 year old kid who plays video games and hackey sack. I am classified as an adult but I am a kid at heart.  I don't know where I'm going with this but I am aiming at the people who are skeptic to psychics, I don't even like that word because as a human we tie meanings to words and we weigh them down with predefined thoughts. If you are skeptic to the third eye, the minds eye, what I like to call the first eye, open up your real eyes and read! Educate yourself as I have done! No one is going to slap you in the face and suddenly you can do all this stuff. You must learn it and accept it as being real. I still haven't had a real experience, like astral projecting or remote viewing, I don't even think I've left focus 2 yet. But what is happening is I'm learning how to move with my astral body while in astral. I'm discovering how to regain awareness in my dreams. We all have our own path, right now I am writing this because it was already decided from the source. This journal could be the key to helping skeptics like who I used to be, awaken themselves to this whole process. Before you can truly be awakened you must be enlightened first.

I seek guidance,

Namaste

I want to provide the link to my first journal entry, I switched it to this forum because I thought it would be more suited here.

Alright I started my journal in another section but I seen this one more fitting. So if you would like to view my first entry just check out my posts. I am 21 years old and I have always felt there was more but i never felt to strong for any religion. I almost knew they were close but didn't have the whole picture. Well I thought psychics were just people who were unique. Yes, they are special, we are all special. We have just forgotten. This is my journal of my personal experiences on the path of reawakening myself. I was once a close minded individual. But after researching the topic it has way too many facts to close it out. So here it goes, journal entry 2. I look forward to all your tips and help.

Namaste

Journal Entry 2: 3/6/11 8:11 PM
Issues that need to be worked on
•   Diet – When focusing on my energy traveling through my body I feel an uneasy sensation in my stomach area. I think this comes from a poor diet. Any tips?
•   I feel like I still expect too much, I need to lower my expectations while not losing faith.
•   Practice dream remembering techniques, I really need to get in a habit of writing these entries in the morning.
•   I also feel as though I need to add more structure to my practices so my internal clock is on point with my meditations, I feel like that plays a big part too.
•   All I can think of right now, again it's later in the day and I am anticipating things in the physical.
•   Being able to pick up on the frequency without audio software.
Practicing Techniques
•   Listening to hemi sync or other audio software
•   The noticing technique
•   Rubbing my chakra points to clear them
•   Visualizing energy flow through my body and my head
Second Experience
•   I want to point out I was not intending to astral project or experience anything for that matter, I felt mentally tired from all my research during the day. My body was just saying no.
•   One of the videos I stumbled upon was an energy manipulation tutorial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEG2Yffh0jQ)
•   I sat down on my couch and began to rub my chakra points and visualized a bright white light cleaning my system and I was just aware that my chakra points was there.
•   I lied there on the couch again listening to hemi sync, the youtube videos, while cleansing my chakras.
•   When I got to my stomach area I felt an uneasy feeling. Almost that you would compare to when you have to go to the bathroom, but I already went and I knew that wasn't it. I think I need to find a new diet to help with my energy. Any tips?
•   So I lied there visualizing energy traveling through my head, through my spine, the whole ordeal.
•   When I put my hands out and focused on energy within my palms it almost felt as though someone blew cool air into my palms.
•   Like I said, My body "said" no to the idea of trying anything crazy. I just knew I wasn't up to it, the more I practice without cleaning my chakras the more I wake up with the hangover affect. I did not focus at all on a vortex or try to find the wormhole.
•   I'm sure when I can the chakra energy points and understand a little better I will push my body's limit, but until then I'm going to try to move a slow. Any tips on viewing chakra energy?
•   So I lied there thinking of energy traveling through my body, I visualized energy in my minds eye shining like the sun. I did this while listening to the hemi sync. I visualized the energy pouring out of my hands and feet to help reacquaint myself with the feeling.
•   I fell asleep, without even seeing it coming. I just passed out like a rock, just right out of left field. Well I slept, maybe I had a dream, maybe I didn't, well I know I did. Nothing was really there, I was not aware of anything.
•   Then I woke up, but it felt like a groggy state of mind. I felt overwhelmed incredibly, like being in a tunnel. I felt like I just hit g forces when me and my friends did donuts in cars. I don't know I can't place it. But it felt like I was getting tugged?
•   Well I wake up and my girlfriend must've jumped on me while I was sleeping, but she said I woke up while she was walking over to me. I wasn't "aware" or "awake"(I quote these words because I can't place the feeling)
•   When I was in the motion or process of waking up it felt as though everything around me was, I don't know, in my center focus I guess? Especially my girlfriend, it felt as though I knew all her emotions, it felt like I experienced every feeling she had ever felt in her life. Needless to say, this feeling at the time felt like an overwhelming joy combined with the feeling of being in a tunnel.
•   I couldn't even explain any of this if it came down to details because when I was fully aware it felt as if all this slipped from my mind, just gone. This is why I need to write my journal entries immediately after something strange happens.
•   Well needless to say I was intrigued by this feeling and rushed off to bed to maybe have a lucid dream. Nothing, pure blackness. That's really how it felt, that is all I could remember upon awaking.
•   I lied there in bed, bored and tired. Did not want to try to go back to sleep and lucid dream because this takes energy from within your chakras. Like I said I just feel like mine aren't right and it makes me tired as hell.
•   After an hour of trying to remember I took a shower. In the shower I started to roam in my thoughts to pass events. Then it hit me like a friggen bat, déjà vu. I remembered the dream I had.
•   The dream I had the night before was in Vermont, I was living with my friend Ryan, my name is Ryan as well and we always have fun with that. Well the dream, or what I can remember is very short, just the feeling of knowing I was there and I had made it to a place I so badly want to be in. I had a dream when I was 18 of being on top of a mountain watching the sunset (or rise?). The feeling, the emotion of this dream was completely amazing, not a care in the world. Just the feeling of wanting to live in the moment for ever. When I awoke I realized that emotion was never going to be experienced in my life of being awake, I simply would never be that happy. I grew to accept this. Well this mountain has always burnt an impression in brain, especially when I think of happiness and I want to just think of a peaceful place.
•   Well just recently I had visited Vermont at my friend Ryan's house. It was so relaxing being at the top of the mountain. One thing about me as an individual is I grew up in the city and I just have this sense of being trapped. So when I go to remote places(I'm talking in a physical sense like camping or skiing) I feel so free, this is what I dream of, lol literally.
•   When I was driving home from Vermont and I was leaving the mountain it hit me again right in the face, the déjà vu. So overwhelming, I felt the emotion again from the dream. That I was so sure I was never going to feel again in my life, at least not while I was awake. I almost wanted to pull over and just feel it. But I just kept going and let it go.
Conclusion
•   What I think that feeling was, when I described feeling all my girlfriends emotions ever in her life, the feeling of feeling everything in the room. The feeling of touching everything around me, and coming through a tunnel, like tunnel vision. I can't really describe it. But what I think it was, was me possibly tapping into their being, their sense of being? Everything comes from the source, everything. Every inanimate object, because it was thought of. So if it was thought it comes from the source. I don't know I can't describe it. Any input on this guys?
•   I don't know what to conclude from last nights dream but I have the sense of being "pushed" in the right direction, almost as if the dream was a reassurance to move there? I don't know. Are there any spiritual locations in Vermont? Any high energy spots? I don't know I really don't understand any of this. I mean I have studied it and broken it down into a visual perspective for my brain but I still don't "grasp" it.
•   I need to start doing my journal entries after every thought or memory that feels important so I can get every last bit of it. Or dreams even for that as well.
•   I need to understand how the diet affects your bodies energy and I need to follow it.
•   I need to start listening to Robert Monroe's rundowns on a day to day basis, if anyone has any other suggestions please feel free to lead me in the right direction.
•   Stop expecting so damn much and just, I don't know, I guess just ease into it.

Also, I'd like to say something about the user name I have chosen real quick. Anakin Skywalker, he was pretty much brought into the Jedi council before he was even aware of his abilities or who he was. He was trained and taught the way of the force. I guess you could say they had a true intent and a higher self as well if you wanted to. Well as I see it, Anakin lost sight of his true intent. I don't want to say I personally feel as though I'm Anakin, but we are all Anakin. But unlike Anakin we can't lose sight of our true intent. Or ultimately we will most likely end up like him? I don't where I'm going with this but I seen it as showing a significance at we're at in our lifetime. All of us, not just a handful.
I seek guidance,

I have read that the best way to remember your dreams and experiences in the Astral is by keeping a journal. I have decided to make my journal completely public. I have discovered astral projection and your third eye only 7 days ago. I knew people were capable of psychic abilities but I thought they were just born with it. Turns out we're all born with it some are just born with the pineal gland more in tuned? I don't know but I will find out. I had my first experience last night after listening to 1,2,3 out of 10 hemi sync videos on youtube. I have read a lot of stuff from Frank Kepple, watched a lot of videos from Dero7 on youtube. I watched the video, "The Spirit Molecule". I have indulged myself in knowledge about the pineal gland and the third eye in the past week just trying to re-familiarize myself on the topic(I say re-familiarize because we all have access to this information within ourselves). I would like to also point out I stumbled upon an interview with the lead singer from Tool. If you would take a look at this, http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/3060836. I want to also point out I have never believed too much further pass a physical life on earth, I believed you lived and you died, the end. I have always listened to Tool and it is the only band that can give me chills and make me have a cold feel to my skin on a warm sunny day. They make my hair stand on end with some songs, now I know why. If you listen to all Tools songs with the idea of the astral plane you will hear how he describes his experiences with each one of his songs. I mean the interview I just showed you makes it evident he is well aware. Tool is the name of the band, they are just that, a tool for the human mind. They have been subliminally telling the people that listen to their music, burying it in our subconsciousness to know there is something more. I want to make it known, I am 21 years old, I have never really felt too deeply into a religion or spiritual sense of view. I do know that energy is energy and you really can't break it so I knew some concept of the soul was accurate. I have never meditated before and I always seen it as pointless. I thought, "What is the point of sitting there quietly thinking of nothing? What could that actually achieve?" Now having giving you guys a little background on who I am I want to say now I fully believe the things I have been reading in the pass week and I am learning. This is a journal I will be posting in a few communities to let people see the progress I make. This might help other people who are on the same path I was and am currently on. I would also like to say that I am seeking peoples opinions and guidance down this road. Here is my first journal entry, they will get more organized as I get used to the structure of the entry. Namaste.

Journal 3/5/11
Issues that need to be worked on
•   Clear my focus
a.   I have a very hard time "noticing". My mind always speaks up with something to say. This is very hard to overcome. This is what's keeping me at bay.
b.   Submitting to not eating before bed, I love food.
c.   Trusting in myself, being able to fall backwards in my thought or no thoughts
First experience
   I listened to 3/10 Hemi sync from Monroe
   I smoked some cannabis
   Followed up by practicing the "noticing" technique
   My girlfriend and I got into a fight, this made me unsure of even trying to enter astral
   I merely focused on discovering my highest intent with each breath
   As I lied down in bed, I felt it, the high pitch ringing in my ear. It began
   I KNEW this was my pineal gland picking up on the frequency that has so long been there
   I could feel/hear multiple ringing sounds, I don't know how to explain them
   By this point I could feel my blood run through my limbs as my sensors began to shut down
   By this point I tend to be drowsy and am fighting sleep
   I want to try to explain these frequencies, I'm going to refer to them as waves because that's how they felt.
   These waves overlie one another, they all merged into one sound but yet, I could draw my focus to each one.
   There felt to be 3, maybe even a fourth but I could not find it, it felt to "slip" out of my "focus" I quote this because at this point your focus is another sensory it feels. Almost like a whole new sense.
   I'm going to describe the waves from easiest to focus on to hardest to focus on, this is really hard for me.
   The first wave felt fast, a lot of ripples in the sound. An angry ocean as I felt at the time.
   The second wave was a mellow ocean type of feel. I want you to picture the speed of the ocean waves as I describe these.
   The third wave was a deep hum almost, with the imagery of the ocean at one of it's calmest states.
   Now if there was a fourth I could barely sense it or find it.
   I could adjust my "focus" to each one and feel each "wave" in its own affect.
   This is all new to me so I just safely trusted this was my pineal gland.
   This is where fighting sleep became hard.

   I fell asleep and did not have a lucid dream. I awoke the next morning to remembering nothing, "Did I possibly meet my higher or wider self? Did I find out where to start or begin to learn how to "phase"? Did any guides or helpers find me like I focused on before falling asleep?"

   I lied there in bed, still hearing the waves, the frequencies. I still hear them now if I focus, I'm now coming to the thought I like the term unfocus because that's exactly how it feels. But for matters of matching the vocab of the majority we'll call it focusing.

   I lied there again practicing the noticing technique while letting the waves overtake me.

   I fell asleep, (I have read taking a nap after you awake is a good way to find what it is we are looking for)
This is where I'd like to point out yesterday(3/4/11) I had a discussion with a close friend of mine(MJ) who I haven't spoken to in a while. I HAD to call him and explain to him my new found knowledge of the pineal gland. He told me he had too discovered it within the pass week. He was reading, "The Spirit Molecule". I happened to download the movie version on the day he picked up the book, very strange but so mapped out it feels. We shared knowledge and indulged in this new found information. I love the band Tool and I explained to him how Maynard knows of this. Well needless to say Tool has been preparing my mind for this for a long time now.
   I began to dream but I thought I was awake, conversing with my friend now in real life about the topic.
   I expressed with him my knowledge to him in great detail.
   Now this is where it get's interesting.
o   He said to me, "Ryan, I can't clear my mind the voice never shuts up." (This is my exact problem)
o   I said to him," You just need to ride the frequency, ride the wave. You need to be clear and willing to accept this noise as your only limb, your only sensor. You need to be the sound."(this is the answer to my problem, coming from me within my dream but coming from me? I expected someone in my dream to tell me, not me)
o   I awoke abruptly in the middle of my conversation as if being tugged into the physical world all in the middle of this last sentence I just told you. I awoke saying this in my sleep. I was saying the answer to my problem. I woke up from my sleep with the tail end of the sentence coming from my lips, my problem now in my consciousness mind. I was nervous my girlfriend heard me talking in my sleep and would think I was losing my mind. I asked if she heard me but she was asleep.
   I want to describe the emotion of where I was in the dream
o   Warm and comforting(My mother's house where I was raised)
o   Energetic and stimulating with the knowledge and information I was sharing
o   Awake and alive because like I said, I didn't think I was dreaming I thought just the opposite
o   Happy in the fact knowing my friend believes the things I'm saying
   Alright now I want to describe what it looked like behind my eyes
•   I was in the kitchen
•   MJ was in front of me
•   He was sliding on his socks across the floor like I used to do as a child
•   All the tables and decorations were there, it felt
•   There was another kid there. Watching from behind MJ almost as if for his turn to slide on the floor
•   He never moved but he watched me as if to be listening
•   He, I think, had his arms crossed on his chest.(something I've always done)
•   He didn't feel out of place, he felt like part of the "crew"
Conclusion
•   The Dream
So My conclusion is that this boy, waiting his turn, was my higher or wider self. I feel as though he was funneling the information through on how to focus, he was allowing me to tell my friend, someone I feel comfortable with. He brought me to my old house where I also feel comfortable. He put us in motion of doing a childhood activity I felt comfortable with. He even jerked me into the physical realm with the thought still rolling out of my mouth. He allowed me to answer the issues I have within myself by telling it to someone else.

I will be keeping a journal from here on out of all my experiences and I will be posting them to multiple forum communities and sharing them with people who have been so open as to guide me on this path. I am putting this journal out there to help others on their path and also so people can lay down their raw opinions of what they think about my personal experiences. I have a huge feeling in my chest right now as I type this. I feel something happening.
•   The waves
The waves are the four focus' that Frank Kepple speaks of. We are radios with dirty dormant antennas, the pineal gland. Hemi Sync tunes into your pineal gland and does something. It made the "waves" very overwhelming to me and made them known. As Dero7(as I like to call him) stated; earth, wind, fire, and water radiate from our fingers. Or something of that nature. These are what I believe to be the 4 different focus ranges. I'd also like to state that picture tuning your radio and you got a crappy connection, what do you do? You adjust the antenna and you find a good station. We are the same except we only have 4 stations. We are programmed on station one. The pineal gland is your antenna and you need to tune it. When you begin to feel these "waves", these frequencies, these "radio stations" you tune into them, you focus. You will feel your focus become of your sensory and you tune into the wave of your choice. This is my personal opinion feel free to add yours.
•   The meditating and noticing
I am not good at either of these yet, my mind never shuts the hell up. Some of you might notice just by the way I typed this my mind is sporadic, I never stop thinking.
My message from my dream was clearly how to evolve from that and I'll take it for what it's worth and I'll grow. I don't really have much to say about this because I'm still a baby in terms of this. If anyone has any tips please share with me and indulge me with your knowledge.
I seek guidance,
Namaste

I'd like to thank everyone so far with for all this knowledge you have bestowed upon me. I have been indulging in all this information. I'd like to keep this thread up and keep it going but for now I'd like to let everyone on this page know that I will be starting a journal of my personal experiences. I had my first "experience" last night and it was very unique to myself. I will be starting this journal to find more guidance and to maybe let other people who are interested see just what happens when you begin to find yourself.

Also, I use the name Anakin because in starwars Anakin could of been the exact opposite of what he became. I seek to find my highest intent and not lose sight, exactly the opposite of Anakin in that reguards.

I have been researching for about 6 hours straight today, I have been a little obsessive with the topic but I believe it's what I need to do right now, I need to figure out my true intent. I would like to reach out to this community right now and look for a guide within this physical realm. Again, I don't know much about this stuff. I'm on day 4 of studying this topic, I have spent an hour or two each day focusing on my third eye. I'm not too sure what I need to be doing buuuut back to searching for a guide. I have been informing myself and I believe I almost understand the way the frequency works and how we are tuned into the physical realm at this "time". Well I am looking for beginners tips on phasing. Can anyone guide me or lead me in the right direction on the internet?

Namaste

First I'd like to introduce myself to the community as this is my first post, but then again some of you may already know me. My name is Ryan F. and I am from New Hampshire. I am 21 years old and as we all know every 7 years come great change. I honestly don't even know where to begin with the changes I have been experiencing over the past few years of my life but I'll start with a universal change I know we have all picked up on, the increase or speed in time. Well I have recently stumbled upon the process of astral projection not too long ago and a few months before that I glanced at a book titled, "Dreamwalking", I believe. I don't know what words to describe this, but these ideas of dreamwalking and astral projection have been manifesting in my brain it feels. So I research, research, research and I feel like all this knowledge is already in my body somewhere. Well in my research I discovered the pineal gland and how it is essentially dormant when we're born. I was under the impression people who were "special" was born with special abilities. I could go on forever about the things I learned in the past 72 hours but I'll sum it up like this, picture a lion hunting an animal for food. That lion hunts out of pure instinct. The pineal gland and this unactivated DNA and the astral planes are all connected to the instinct within us.

I want to say that I've had dreams since 2003 about the end days or the end of time. I've had under ten of these dreams since then. I've had weird nervous system tingling feelings like there is more to the body that I'm in. The speed of time increasing is also another sign. I don't my mind is drawing a blank right now, I'm trying to speak from my center but it's hard to express myself. I've never meditated in my life, I don't understand really how it works. I used to be close minded to a spiritual world, where as now I feel so sure. Everything is changing.

I guess what I'm getting to is this, I need help. I've never meditated before in my life, and I never heard the work chakra until 72 hours ago. I don't know how to see my energy body, well I know I need to open my third eye. I would like to find a counselor to guide me through this process until I meet with my higher self, then I, my higher self, will be my own counselor.

What was it like meeting your higher self for the first time? Can you find me in the astral plane while I'm lucid dreaming and help me find my higher self? What are the limits? Forgive me for being naive, this is all new.

Namaste,

Ryan

Just editing out your last name, you give more than enough information for someone to track you down.  ~Xanth
