Am I Close?

[TorosDead]

You'll be happy to know you are on the verge.  If you saw a bright light and a rope you apparently have no idea how close you really are.  You were probably seeing with your astral eyes which means your conciousness was focused on your astral body, which is where you want to be.  If you felt your head was stuck, it could have been, try working on your energy there more.  Thinking will stop the astral projection also.  Go with the flow and take the position of a neutral observer.  When you get back in your body you can get excited and jump for joy all you want, but don't do it while out of body or it'll probably stop.  Good luck!

Thank you and that is very exciting for me. Is there any way that i can calm my mind down so i won't lose concentration? In-other-words, how would i try working on my energy?
Sorry if i am coming accross as a pain, but this is interesting and i want to learn.
         Again i thank you for you advice.

I had an experience last night. This is how it happened. I was laying down and i was relaxing. I was concentrating on deep relaxation. I was on the verge of sleeping when i started different methods to try to project like trying to rock out of your body. I read it in the training. I started to feel dizzy and i started to see bright colorsand i was spinning. Then, it was real weird, but i saw this rope that went up. As i looked up is saw a shining light and it got brighter at the top. I reached up and grabbed ahold. I started climbing and the feeling was almost unbearable. There were lights and noises and spinning. I felt as though my head was stuck. Then i started thinking and the experience started to slowly diminish, and i was back to my original state of mind. It only felt like i had been trying for only ten minutes. But i looked at my clock and it read 12:00 AM. I started at 11:00 PM approx. I want to know if i am close to projection or if i am doing it all wrong.
