I have come up against several problem areas while phasing or trying to… this is some of them.
The first I have always had a difficult time reading text while I am mentally out of body, phasing. Often times I find myself in front of a computer screen or have been shown a book with a ton of writing on the pages, but when I try look directly at the pages and text the letters and words just seem to scramble. This was so frustrating, and for a long time I tried a number of different solutions. And years have gone by trying to find an answer. But slowly I learned if I didn’t look directly at the text and I just let my mind do the work, the words pop into my head like I was reading the text. So infact my mind was reading the text without so much as looking directly at the text.
Ten years later, and I still have a difficult time but am much better at reading now. I guess it just takes lots of practice.
Second, There are times when I think I am back in my physical body, and I start toget up out of bed and found out I was still Aping; And I swear I am awake and back in my body. And I tried numerous times to go back into my body and stir fully conscious awake and found myself still Aping. This happens over and over until I finally make it back in my physical,… slowly… regain consciousness and open my eyes. It’s like I get stuck Aping. This is just something that happens, and I just chalk it up as one of the strange things that happen while out of body. Many, many strange things happen.
Another strange thing is, after 6 months of practicing phasing, I came into an active area in my brain , I guess, where after waking up fully conscious after phasing, I would open my eyes and see the most strangest things. I came to apoint where I could see astral things while awake and they are real moving objects floating right above me.
I shouldn't say objects because I only saw one object during each time. This object is as physically real as you or me and moving, but they are always see through, has the most brilliant beautiful colors. For example, the first time this happened I opened my eyes and there was this thing that looked like a plump lotus flower. And this flower was the most beautiful shade or red and the petals were flowing as if it was underwater. And I could see right through it. I got up my nerve and swish my fingers right in the middle and it seemed to pass through the object as if a knife through butter. And the lines my fingers left behind soon mended so the lotus flower became whole again. It slowly faded away after awhile.
Then one time I woke up from sleeping to see a sphere object floating about 2 feet above me. It was see through like the lotus flower and that vanished to be replaced by the top part of a being. I call this the top part of an alien because that is what he looked like. No alien I ever seen before either. I could see my bedroom dresser right through him and he was a greyish blue the same color as the sphere. And he looked like he was pressing somekind of buttons. There is more to this but this is where it gets really strange. And I might post it if anyone wants to know.
Another problem area I have confronted with has to do with a book. For a couple months everytime I tried to phase I ended up staring at an open book with pages of text right in front of my face. This wasn't an earthly book, but a book someone from beyond placed in front of me. This was rather frustrating because what I described with the reading problem I have while phasing. I got stuck in this loop where this book would always appear. After a couple of months of this, I stopped phasing for awhile. That seemed to break the book loop.
Another strange thing, this isn't so much a problem but it was strange. One time I phased right into a lady I guess in the astral. But I found myself right in her body. I could hear her talking to her uncle, could see everything she saw and it was like I was stuck in her body. I couldn't read her mind or anything and at one point she even looked in the mirror and I saw the reflection of her. Strange.
But has anyone heard or experienced problems and strangeness such as this before while trying to phase or AP? I hate to think I am the only one having big strangeness and problems like this. I really wish Frank was with us, he has the most awesome answers to just about anything connected to phasing.
I Phase twice a day and also experience the Phantom visions afterwards. It usually happens seconds after I open my eyes and I usually see Orbs and Shadows. Once I swear I saw a Human form run right through my fireplace wall. It's almost like we bring a little of the Astral back with us. I read in Frank's posts that reading text in the Astral is really difficult because we may see letters, then make the sentence whole ourselves. I think it's almost like typing here online, you start to spell something and your computer grabs it and finishes the word according to what it thinks it is going to be. If I were you I would passively ease into the view of this book. Make it like a game and try to view it from different angles, lighting and even places. Try seeing the book while under a sunny day or my favorite, in a Pyramid. Pyramids are sacred to me, they help me with finding a lot of answers. Often, when I Phase, I place myself in the very center of a Pyramid and just enjoy the energy.
Good Luck and Safe Travels :-)
