Welcome to Astral Consciousness! / the Rope Method
January 15, 2005, 09:53:44
Last night I spent several minutes(probably about 30) visualizing myself climbing this rope and theonyl thing I could really note was having a harder time focusing on the rope, and a "lighter" feeling.  i was just wondering if there is a certain technique for hopping out of your body when you're in the right mind frame and if not what should I do to further my practice?

Welcome to Out of Body Experiences! / Past OBE???
January 15, 2005, 09:33:00
Sounds more like a lucid dream to me, but who knows, maybe it was an OBE.  Take my word for it because i still cant AP, but I have read lots of material on it and I have many lucid dreams.  I also had similar experiences as a child.  What might help you out is going to www.astraldynamics.com and reading some material about the subject there.  Good luck and happy projecting.

I just stopped reading Robert Bruces article on astral wildlife because I believe I have just found the last piece to a missing memory.  Before now I only remembered projecting as a child and having a negative feeling about it, but after reading more than half of the article I remembered what I believe to be the rest of the memory.  I would project unintentionally because I was afraid of the dark.  I would keep my eyes open for what seemed like hours, until I was overcome with a numbing sensation all over my body and then my fear went wild.  I believe astral wildlife creatures detected my fear and fed off of my energy.  When i projected they took the form of some nightmarish creature and I became extremely scared.  I think my fear of the subject subconsciously blocked it from my memory until now.  I feel so relieved.  If anyone can relate please do any all repies will be grateful.

During my first OBE I was at a friends house and I remember trying to wake him up, I yelled his name and at first it came out only it sounded a little wierd.  The second time I tried my voice was all gurgly sounding and then I decided to stop.  Can you talk to others on the astral plane, does it take practice or what???

On another website i visited about AP I learned about a panic type affect called The ALice in Wonderland affect that happens if you are in the Astral Plane and get freaked out.  On the site it talked about how doors will be in different places and objects that aren't there will be there.  I've had one AP I think, and in it something like this happened.  I was wondering if anyone else knows what im talking about...

when reading his book, i had wierd instances of deja vu, in which it felt as if I remembered astral projecting as a child, but unintentionaly.  I remember having a very big room as a kid, and being afraid to close my eyes. I also remember all sorts of crazy things happening like figures floating above my head, and myself crying and not crying at the same time, its all very fuzzy, but i feel somehow connected to the astral realm.  Reading over this I feel like a lunatic.  If anyone can realte please do so.

Welcome to Out of Body Experiences! / Phasing out?
January 12, 2005, 21:03:20
A few nights ago, after my nigthly zen meditation, I was lying in bed for quiet some time counting my exhalations i sets of ten.  For instance, as i exhaled i would say one in my mind, then two for the next exhalation and so on.  When i would get to ten I would count that as 1:10 and then start over.  When i would get to ten agian it became 2:10 and so-on.  Anyway I was lost in my mind, completely oblivious of my sorroundings, and I heard my phone ring.  At first when i tried to reach ovr and answer it, my body gave no reaction and I immediately though that i had phased out, as Robert Monroe describes in his books, but after i heard my phone ring again i broke out of it and answered it.  Is this anything important, should i keep counting breathes, what shoudl i do????

Welcome to Dreams! / Lucid Dreaming
January 12, 2005, 20:20:16
Last night I had a very short, but influential dream.  I was sitting in my room, or some recreation of it, across from one of my best friends.  We were both holding a candy bar and trying to change the foil into some other substance mainly because I wanted to prove to myself that I was dreaming.  Anyway, I was holding to candy bar in my left hand and moving my right hand from right to left over the candy bar, in hopes that after my hand passed over the bar the foil would be different.  The first couple of tries had no affect and the foil stayed gold, but on the third try, i thought to myself, "this isn't working because I don't expect it to." So after that I changed my method of thinking and expected it to be silver.  Sure enough as my hand passed over it, it changed into silver.  A proud feeling passed over me as I handed the bar to my friend.  However when I tried the same trick with his bar I was unsuccesful, can anyone enlighten me as to why I couldnt do it the second time and let me know if this is a good sign?

I have been interested in astral projection for awhile now and have had many lucid dreams, but only one OBE, or at least that's what I think it was.  I want some advice from all you veteran projectors, i want to know how you first got started and if you can control it easily.  Any and all advice will be useful and appreciated.
