OBE Journal Entry #2


After reading that the best time to try the Hemi-Sync exercises was in the morning when you first wake up I gave it a shot.  I set the alarm for 30 minutes earlier than I normally wake up.  As soon as I got up and turned the alarm off I climbed back in bed and put the headphones on.  It didn't take me long to reach Focus 3.  In fact I think I was there as soon as I got to the Energy Conversion Box exercise.  I think I hit Focus 10 right after the guided dialogue to enter Focus 3.  The sleep paralysis slipped in and at the same moment I felt "vibrations".  Maybe my understanding on vibrations from reading about them varies from what actually occurs because these were violent*.  I always imagined them to be like a massage vibrator or electric shaver.  It literally felt as if someone was strattled over me jumping on the bed.  Quickly I became nervous eventhough I tried to calm myself and I felt my heart begin to race.  This broke concentration and I jumped back to Focus 3.  Between that event, my cat meowing and my dogs later changing position on the bed I remained in Focus 3 until I was guided to my awake state.  

I'm getting closer.  The morning seems to be the time to do it.  Much progression over the past weeks attempt of trying the exercise before I go to bed.  My dreams have always been vivid but now they are becoming more Lucid.


*note: I don't recall experiencing violent vibrations when I projected without using the tapes.  They were more controlled and fine in frequency.  Even at the beginning of the exercise.  This was when I was following techniques in The Astral Projection Workbook by J.H. Brennan before I discovered Hemi-Sync.

Welcome to Astral Pulse, Ron! It sounds like you have a natural inclination toward this sort of thing and I imagine you will have great successes in the future. I look forward to reading more about your experiences. Cheers!

OBE Journal Entry #1


For as long as I can remember I've had "abilities", that rationally, I would either pass as coincidence or dreams.  However, something inside of me would tell me they are real and to embrace them.  These "abilities" would include OBEs, pre-cognitive dreams and empathy (up until recently I didn't know what to call it).  My pre-cognitive dreams would be short movies of future events and I would almost never remember them until the event happened.  I assume one can classify this under deja vu, but whereas deja vu is a feeling of living through an event previously, I remember these specifically from my dreams.  These seemed to stop occurring over three years ago.  However, recently I've "heard" conversations that people had with someone else, in another location, that often related to something I was involved with and would later be confirmed by that person following up with me.  (During these brief instances I noticed I wasn't aware of my body, almost in a daydreaming state of consciousness.)

Most of you, I'm sure have encountered someone and felt an unexplainable connection to them without even speaking a word.  Like you've known them all of your life.  That was the same feeling I had when I first saw my wife.  (Past lives, maybe, but I haven't explored that area enough to cultivate my own opinions on reincarnation.)   The moment I laid eyes on her I knew, deep down from unknown reaches of my consciousness, that that was the woman I was going to marry. I hadn't even met her at the time.  I saw her and knew.  I was riding in the truck with my dad, first day of band camp in my first year of high school, and said, "Her, that's the one.  She's the one I'm going to marry."  He didn't believe me at the time, who would, but ten years later here we are married for three, together since the year of my affirmation, and in the third trimester of our third child.

I thought this was worth mentioning because as some of you have experienced a similar connection to people I also have been able to look at people and be consumed by an overwhelming emotion.  These emotions would vary and I would feel tied in with the person I was viewing.  The term I found for this is Empathy.  Also, I've been able to view people and perceive information about them.  I'm not quite sure how it happens but the information just pops up there.  

Although I'll continue to report any phenomenal occurances let's focus on the OBE side of things.  I've had 3 projections that I can recall almost perfectly.  All but one being of ethereal in nature and most occurring when I was very young.  

Projection #1 I was wondering around a hospital, viewing outside of the room that I was in.  I believe this was experienced due to my illness and it happened spontaneously.  I wasn't aware how my astral body even got to that location, I just "woke" up in it.  During this OBE my temperature reached an alarming 105.7F.  Temperatures that remain at this level or higher for a period time will start effecting the brain.  I'm not sure how long my temperature remained at that point since I was very young.  I found it odd how I remembered the OBE so clearly, even to this day, yet I was only two years of age.  When I was at that Focus of consciousness I felt like I had the mentality of someone much older, not that of a two year old.

Projection #2 happened a few years later when I was sleeping in my parents bedroom.  I was floating in the corner of the room watching myself sleep.  This went on for several minutes until I felt another prescence with me and scared myself back into my body.  I remember yelling for my mom to look but no one could hear me.

Projection #3 happened several years later, I believe I was around 14-15  years of age.  This time it was planned.  Something pulled me to the subject and I began reading The Astral Projection Workbook by J.H. Brennan on OOB travel.  I also picked up Robert Monroe's books on his experiences.  After practicing with the techniques in Brennan's book I began to feel like I was progressing to my goal.  One night I asked for help and stated so several times in my affirmation.  Soon after I achieved the vibrations I felt a gentle tug.  I left my body and noticed the presence of a feminine entity.  Although I could not see her to determine the sex of the entity, I "felt" it.  Loving and joyful, she eminated her presence as someone of my age and stature, maybe to help ease my mind and fears.  (Is she my guide?  I don't know, will have to explore further.)  I walked outside of my room and literally through the front door leading outside. (*Note: When I passed through the door I heard a whooshing sound*)

Soon another feminine presence joined us but before I could say thanks for the help I shifted "upward" into another plane.  I don't recall ever learning how to,  but it came to me instantly as if I've been doing it forever.  On this Focus I felt PUL (Pure Unconditional Love).  Before I entered the gathering area I was told that with my current appearance I wouldn't be allowed access.  I shifted my appearance and in a mirror next to me I noticed that I bore angelic wings with black tips.  I was allowed to pass and there in front of me were several angelic beings dancing to the most delightful song I ever heard.  Suddenly I was overwhelmed with joy and love and found myself dancing with them, consumed in my entirety by the moment.  

Soon after I lost focus and woke up feeling completely rested, full of joy and love and recalled the spectacular event with crystal clarity.  


This brings me to now.  Thanks to an article in Computer Games I saw a new piece of technology called Wild Devine.  This game ships with biofeedback sensors and monitors your pulse and energy levels to effect objects in the game.  This peeked my interest again in OBEs and Astral Travel.  Soon I found myself looking over The Monroe Institute's webpage as I've done several times before.  I decided to purchase the fist Wave in the Gateway series and that in the next year or so I will attend a residential program.  Too hyped up and anxious to wait I downloaded the second CD off of a file sharing application and put it to the test.  

Projection #4 During the first ten minutes of the CD I "clicked out".  I do recall having a lucid dream about dolphins.  One dolphin would swim up to me and I'd pet it.  It would swim the opposite direction and swim back.  After it repeated this process I few times I clicked that it wanted me to grab a hold and go for a swim.  The dolphin pulled me into the astral.  I became excited and woke up.  I believe the dolphin figure came from previously reading about the DEC (Dolphin Energy Club) at TMI.
