Using Tools

[darkdog302]

Hey all!

So about a month or so ago I was reading about someone who wanted to know if they should purchase a device that was said to help people Astral Project easier. I thought to myself, can't we "create" these tools ourselves? For example, if I were to choose a personal object of mine, such as the small statuette I bought on a trip of a bird, could I theoretically use this object to AP? If I were to theoretically pour my intent and faith into this object, that focusing on it would allow me to AP,...couldn't it help? Almost like a magic spell that you make up in your head. A few months ago, I can't remember when exactly, I started telling myself at night that I'd have good dreams and since then I haven't had a single nightmare. Is it possible to train the mind into thinking that an object can help us achieve AP, and therefore actually trigger an AP? Just a random thought.

Thanks!

Oh yeah definitely, if you light up a candle and just stare the flame for like 15 mins, once you close you eyes you'll see the tip of the flame and that point is really helpful to guide you for AP'ing.
I did it a couple of time and it's a great way to focus your mind on something else than life problems etc.

Yup

Cool! I'll try doing this in the future.

I would go one bit further and say that anything that helps you focus your Intent towards your chosen goal is a "tool".  That is just about everything.
