My name's Chloe. I've been astral projecting for years and then fell out of it for a while when my professional life and its problems made me too depressed to easily astral project. Been experimenting with some things lately again after some interesting unexpected out of body experiences and decided I might as well join here as I used to lurk this forum in the past and always had a desire to join. My personal mission in life is to at least try and reverse engineer out of body experiences.

Welcome to the Astral Pulse Chloe. There is a vast repository of information here encompassing a wide range of knowledge and experience from members past and present to draw upon, and willing and able to answer any questions. Perhaps you could expand upon your desire to "reverse engineering out of body experiences", e.g. methodology or the meaning of the experience itself.

I think this is actually a really great and original question- Why do so many of our Non-Physical experiences of inquiry result in failure and near obstruction?

It seems to be a quality of our Earth/human experience that some of these existential questions remain unanswered and even blocked at times...maybe it's as simple as that, to keep us in the PR game simulation to learn from that perspective alone. Much of my own 60+ years exploration has been a combination of some success and mostly failure, much as you describe. The successes are pretty self-evident, the failures very perplexing and frustrating in their nature. One quality of the failures that stands out to me is the contributing imagery and lifelong struggles within my own subconscious...the images and storylines and inner difficulties...

This seems evident in your narrative, Chloe...the characterization of your inner exploration within the framework of your engineering background. It's not right or wrong, it's just your unique perspective. And within this context, anyone can offer advice, but only you can come to a more complete understanding for yourself.

My own voyage of discovery has involved many or variants of the situations you describe...I find the library, I read the book, decipher the language, but cannot make the complete translation, cannot understand the mathematical equations...the last several years it has devolved into lucid dreams of pulling out drawers and dumping a hundred useless objects I feel I must sort through...endless scenarios of that silly bedlam...

So much of this imagery comes from our personal subconscious, and the message I think, is to search elsewhere, mostly into your subconscious and how it communicates into your dreams and NP experiences...when I figure it out, I will let you know...if you figure it out first, please let me know.

Do not despair. this is the drudge work, the digging with a shovel...digging through both the NP and your own subconscious interpretation framework.

This applies to pretty much anything, whether it be knowledge of the astral or literally any other topic, but I seem to chronically keep becoming the very thing I seek after exhausting existing learnings. Specifically, I end up often endlessly searching for information on many topics that are personally relevant to me, end up hitting a wall, and then I end up figuring it out myself and often start teaching others and on occasion sharing it online too. Anyone else experience this weird "become the teacher/wisdomholder you once sought" effect? It's pretty fun to be honest and has lead to alot of personal growth for me over the years.

Wow. Especially the excessive "random" interest parts. Might explain why I am obsessively hoarding and consuming thousands of books and other academic materials and obsessed with learning many different fields in hopes of finding something I am looking for and just for the sake of knowledge.

This is a bit of an weird thing I've noticed and I'd like to hear if anyone has had experiences. So for the longest time I've been into trying to figure out how spiritual experiences work, think finding a way to scientifically explain astral projection and related things. There were a couple times where I got pretty close when trying to "steal" information on this matter from astral realities... but something would always stop me before I succeeded.

First attempt was trying to get to a book on inter-reality physics by going into the library of an astral university. Immediately as I got close, all the people surrounding my astral self began purposely distracting me and making a ton of noise. When I got to where the book I wanted was, I was instantly sent back to this reality and my earthly body.

The second time was even more intense. I started out by listening to a free basic guided meditation from the Monroe Institute, and initially landed in a starting spot in a place that resembled what my home would be like if everything was ideal in my life (think a "happy space" with all my dream hobby stuff, etc...) with a time signature (or "time feel") of some time in the year 2048. I then end up walking out of this house and into a gloomy rainy street, and then everything goes dark like I'm sucked into a black hole. A few moments later, I land in this dark area where in the background I hear my best friend's dead father telling me to follow him so I can stop lying to his son about who I am (I have hidden some aspects of my identity from the friend in question, and there are some reasons I'd rather not disclose as to why reverse engineering astral projection would enable me to quit hiding those things from him). I ended up in front of this lantern-lit building that was more than obviously some research facility, and my friend's father's presence vanishes. I go inside and in the lobby there are some late 90s era computers and such. The time signature felt like circa first quarter of 1998 (won't mention the month for privacy reasons), roughly two years before my birth. Immediately I realize from my surroundings and the intense spiritual sensations that I am in an abandoned research facility that likely lost alot of people due to some kind of radiation related accident when trying to make a link between realities. I am then drawn into an endless hallway straight forward and something draws me to a particular door on the left. It was a bookroom-office type space with books everywhere and a desk to my right. I begin going through the desk drawer and find a red book with a golden text title saying it was something about "reality hacking". I begin to flip through it and immediately see a bunch of otherworldly math formulas between the other text that are completely different from any kind of math I have seen. Realizing that I'm probably on borrowed time after what happened the first time, I begin to flip through looking for at least a main answer to the workings of astral projection and other inter-reality activities, with the plan of looking back at the weird math if I didn't get sent back to earth. Needless to say I eventually hit the jackpot and see this vector plot of an inter-reality portal-like field and immediately recognized it as a vector force plot due to my engineering background. The minute my brain fired up with excitement and looked towards the bottom of the page to see the description, just before I could process what was written, BOOM! I immediately began to lose all my energy, my vision began to blur and fade as if I was suddenly dying, and I end up waking up on earth in my mundane physical body.

There have been other manifestations of this kind of self-protection mechanism, including when I've attempted to manually reverse engineer astral worlds and intermediary spaces, and its really weird. Its like it knows that I am capable of such stuff if not stopped and that it is my personal life purpose to at least get somewhere towards a discovery of this magnitude, and whatever it is it just sabotages me. There was even an incident where I failed and then before being sent back to earth I was stuck in this hellish underworldy space alone while a song I normally associate with personal success began playing all around me in an unprecedentedly profusely mocking/ridiculing tone until I started to sob which sent me right back to earth.

My question is, has anyone else experienced this?

Hi Chloe! Welcome. I used to get sleep paralysis in college, in those days, it was a personal mission to try and recreate the experience- knowing it was an opportunity for the OBE. I had some success, and then, it seems my interest waned and my focus was elsewhere. But it also seems that I wasn't as successful as I thought, that maybe I was receiving help during those days.

I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors! I too wish to better understand reality and its mysteries~  :-)

I love Buddhist wisdom! This video is highly recommended to get deeper into life's flow.

Thanks Lumaza, this looks interesting! I will give it a shot.
