Stepping into 'astral screens'

[Dan C4551DY]

So I was practicing phasing last night and I came across what Frank called an 'astral screen'. I was quite giddy as I hadn't had much progress lately. So then came the issue of trying to enter, or 'step in' to it. I tried willing myself into it with no success, I tried imagining myself in the scene, again no success. Then it slowly vanished, and I didn't see any more screens for the rest of the night.

So, basically I am asking how do I go about entering these scenes? It seems that me trying to enter these scenes causes them to vanish, as I had a similar experience a few weeks ago in which the same thing happened.

You don't really... well, what I mean is you don't actively do it.  You *allow* it to happen.

You have to remove all "effort" from what you're doing.  If that makes any sense? 

Good job though!  You're doing well.

Ah, so im supposed to keep doing what im doing?

The way I step into an astral screen is to focus on something inside the scene, preferably not 'in front', and let myself be sucked in.  Imagine you're teetering on a precipice and the scene is it- you focus on something on the 'bottom' (back) and let 'gravity' do the work.
For example, once I phased into a room that had a staircase and a door in the back.  I felt myself be pulled in and out of the screen.  I wanted in, so I focused on the top part of the stairs (which is farther back than the landing, which was directly in front of me) and 'looked' into the doorframe, and I 'fell' upwards and into the screen.

It's the same for me, when I look at the whole screen, I zoom in and out and sometimes lose the screen. But when I choose something to focus on, like a tree or a door of a house, then I get pulled in.

So you can try both methods and see which one works the best for you.

Thanks for clearing this up

During my first successful phasing, I focused on getting the scene clearer and clearer.  I did not attempt to step in.  The scene eventually filled my field of vision and became 3D.  At that time, I was sucked into it without effort.

Yes, flying into the screen doesn't work for me but picking out a detail and focusing on it does pulls me right in.

I've also found that while in the blank black world that it's the perfect time to create an experience so I start with something as easy as visualizing a flower or person and quite quickly it will appear in an outline form, than full color hi-def and then a scene will form around it and will pull me in. That way you have greater control over what the subject matter is.
