Personal insight and questions about a bunch of stuff

[FlareDarknight]

Hello everyone.I have been viewing the astralpulse for quite a time and I finally decided to join in as member,not only as an observer.

So I am just gonna go straight to the point.I've been doing reasearch and collecting information about Astral Projection and Phasing for year...I guess.And I have been reading a lot of posts in this website about people who were able to achive Astral Prjection and Phasing.And I hope you won't mind if I share my experience and ask you a bunch of questions?

My first experience was when I was 3-4 years old.I don' remember quite clearly,but I think that I was sitting next to my brother when suddenly I found myself floating around the room.I saw myself sitting next to my brother.Next thing I remember was that I was going straight at grandma's mirror.Now,it was a long time and I doubt it a little that it really happend.So what's your opinion about this?

During my life experience I also stumbled upon "vibrations".They only happen when I close my eyes and strain my brain.Then my whole vison(under closed eyes)starts to shake.After I open my eyes I get a bit of a nasty headache.For some months now I've tried to experience those vibration a bit more.So what I wanna ask is:Are those vibration that I can use in some way to be able to accomplish Astral Projection or Phasing?Or are they somethig else.I read that the vibrations are only sign that I am doing the thing right.If that's so,what am I missing?

During practice or when I'm about to go to sleep,I hear voices in my head.At first I thought that it was just me,but later I found out that it was not me.And I also see different images.If I am right those can be used for the phasing method right?But when I try to become one with the image it either dissapears or I fall asleep.Can you give me opinion on this thing?

Also about the vibrations I mentoned above.When I concentrate on them my head starts moving left and right on it's own.Can anyone give me a good explanation about this?

Also I am trying the soundtrack from the Monroe institute.They are kinda nice and I would be glad if any of you can share their opinion about the soundtracks.I've tried other soundtracks(Binaural beats)but they are not that effective as those of Monroe's.

And...yeah.That's all I wanted to share/ask.Thank you for your cooperation.

Hearing voices in your head is perfectly normal. It doesn't make you crazy although many modern phsycotherapists would disagree.

It's called the "watcher" and every person on Earth has one. It's part of your awareness. Sometimes watcher plays the role of playmate, sometimes devil's advocate, sometime fudamental depression. It's the "other".

Buddhists are very familiar with watcher. At one point in their practice it's all that really remains - that voice in your head that seems is not you. We don't freak out over it... we use it as a vehicle for further progress. There seems to be cycles where watcher disappears and then it returns for a second round. It's just your awareness watching itself. The razor cuts itself, the water wets itself and so on.

A lot of new age people specially at the beginning think they are going crazy. It's good to get a meditation routine going so you can develop basic sanity.

I'm a little busy at work right this second, but I wanted to acknowledge you and tell you that I'll throw my two cents into the pot later today or tomorrow.

welcome.

Well I am not the kind of person who will say that someone is crazy,just becouse he is experience something most people WON'T and DON'T want to understand.Everything can be explained one way or another.

Also here's something I forgot to add:During lucid dreams there are times when I experience strange feelings.Mostly when I am about to fly I feel a sensention I haven't feel in the 1 state.Either this is specific feeling for state 2 OR it's something else I am not aware of.

could have been a projection, could have been an imagined journey.  it's not terribly hard to have an imagined separation.  just last week i was hypnotized (lightly) and experienced a shift outside my body, but I wouldn't really consider it a projection.  didn't feel like a projection, but it was a full third person pov experience.

During my life experience I also stumbled upon "vibrations".They only happen when I close my eyes and strain my brain.Then my whole vison(under closed eyes)starts to shake.After I open my eyes I get a bit of a nasty headache.For some months now I've tried to experience those vibration a bit more.So what I wanna ask is:Are those vibration that I can use in some way to be able to accomplish Astral Projection or Phasing?Or are they somethig else.I read that the vibrations are only sign that I am doing the thing right.If that's so,what am I missing?

you may be very astrally "loose", which allows you to enter this vibration state easily, but i don't really think so.  usually vibrations are experienced when you are in a very relaxed and entranced state.  so you'd expect someone to have induced a good trance state which typically requires a deep level of relaxation.  honestly, the first thought i had after reading it was that you have vertigo.  that headache thing makes me think vertigo or some similar equilibrium problem.  maybe you could do some of those earwax candles?  but don't do it yourself unless you're trained, you can burn your ears if you don't know what you're doing.  but i could be wrong and you might really be experiencing the vibration state.  these vibrations aren't required to project, many people don't feel them.  i usually feel what i describe as being more of a slight buzzing than vibrations because the vibrations are often described as being very strong and intense.  Nevertheless, if you experience them, try to increase their intensity and if you feel yourself expand, like you just moved slightly beyond the boundaries of your body, then use an exit technique like rolling out.

During practice or when I'm about to go to sleep,I hear voices in my head.At first I thought that it was just me,but later I found out that it was not me.And I also see different images.If I am right those can be used for the phasing method right?But when I try to become one with the image it either dissapears or I fall asleep.Can you give me opinion on this thing?

This actually happens to my fiance.  First, they are likely hypnagogic hallucinations, very common.  Nearly everyone experiences this at some point in their life, some more than others.  As you're going to sleep, if you remain conscious while your brainwaves begin to enter sleep cycles you can experience auditory and visual hallucinations.  Modern medicine says it's just an "anomaly", a strange occurrence with no real substance.  However, my fiance spoke to one of the psychics i work with about it once (not in a reading, just in conversation) and the reader said that she was experiencing a cross over of signals.  She described it like a tv signal.  She said that when my fiance was going to sleep she became tuned in to both her normal waking reality and some other signal.  The crossover would produce auditory hallucinations, though they weren't always very clear.

Also about the vibrations I mentoned above.When I concentrate on them my head starts moving left and right on it's own.Can anyone give me a good explanation about this?

that's a common trance sensation

Also I am trying the soundtrack from the Monroe institute.They are kinda nice and I would be glad if any of you can share their opinion about the soundtracks.I've tried other soundtracks(Binaural beats)but they are not that effective as those of Monroe's.

binurals work by playing a tone in each ear that are slightly different from eachother in frequency.  the two tones cancel eachother out and the remainder then lowers your brainwave state.  for example (hypothetically), you could have a frequency of 100 in one ear and 108 in the other ear.  the 100's cancel eachother out and you're left hearing 8mhz which your brain then matches and becomes "entrained".  Let me be very clear about this part.  Binurals will not induce astral projection on their own.  They will help you achieve a proper mental state, but you must combine that with proper relaxation and control of your focus.  They can be very helpful though.
