You seem to take some time to return to your body, Why ? DOes it caused you any problem?
YOu could seacrh for that "Stoole" book and read it on page 41[:)]
More seriously, next time you project try to see proofs (suppose you find a book with Stoole on it, and then you confirm that the book it is there in the location, etc this kind of proofs o me are good). Then relat then to us.
good luck
Yeah, sometimes it does take me a few tries to get back to my body. What I do is stop what I'm doing and focus on thinking "I want to return to my body." I usually go *somewhere* when I do this, but don't always pop back into myself the first time. It's kind of weird, I've noticed during several lucid dreams (I'm usually not blind while dreaming, just when I consciously project from my body and have been aware of myself going from the full-waking state to the out-of-body state) that I've come back into a similar dream-situation after trying to wake up, but the light would be dimmer.
I was trying to prove it was real by remembering a couple words on the books, I just wasn't lucid enough while projecting to realize that my mom didn't usually place books in that position on that table. =/ The book was standing straight up along with some others between two bookstands. Memory's kind of foggy, but I don't even think she had two book stands like those. =/ Was a bummer to realize once I was awake.
Hi. I don't know most of you all, so this may seem weird, but I wanted to share an experience I had this morning - partly because I want to share it with people who will understand it and not think it's crazy, and partly because I hope it helps other people who have experienced being blind while projecting.
For the past two years I have been trying to project and getting mostly nowhere because for the most part whenever I project all I can see is blackness, and the occasional blob of light or object.
A friend of mine recently told me that what they thought was happening was that I was projecting to a "shadow area" between the physical world and the astral dimension. They said if I just relaxed, and let the astral location I wanted to go to "come to me", I would get there.
Well, tried it this morning for the first time, and it worked. :D
Here is what happened this morning according to what I wrote when I got up:
quote:
OMG. I had my first astral projection where I could SEE. I followed a friend's advice about just relaxing once out of the body, and letting the astral location come to me. What happened then was I saw a bunch of stars flying at me through the blackness (actual five-pointed stars, and some four-pointed, not points of light), and then I was in my mom's old house in Tennessee. All her furniture was there and everything, as well as some books that weren't hers...the only lettering I can definitely remember off of the books is the number 41, and I think one of the author's last names was Stoole. I will look up Stoole on Google and see if anything turns up. Oh yeah, I think the word Forgiveness was on one of the books, too.
It is strange that I didn't think of this myself. After all, to get back to my body, I need to relax before I start telling myself to go back for it to work; you'd think I'd realize going places away from the body would be the same way.
When I tried going back into my body, I kept moving into slightly different versions of my mom's old house each try. In each one the light was dimmer and dimmer. Then on the last try I "phased" back into my body like Robert Monroe describes in his books.
Oh, I even saw my mom floating around in there. For some reason I thought she was really my mom and started to tell her, "Look, we can't get back into our bodies very easily for some reason. We need to keep trying, and when we get back, we need to remember "Stoole" and "41." LOL.
Was kind of disappointing to wake up and realize that that house isn't *really* my mom's house anymore; I had thought I was in the Real-Time zone. But not too disappointing. I just have to wait til my next lucid half-conscious state, and that happens about once a week when I'm waking up in the morning luckily.
This is so cool!
