seeing spirits and what I call the inbetween

[Bhikku]

It sounds like this entity may be your spirit guide, who is helping you to project. I also sounds like your in the astral when you see all black, just try to move away from you physical body and your vision should be fixed. I believe that there are some mantras that can help you to see as well, but if you raise your level of concentration you should be OK.

I have a couple questions that I hope people could shed some light on, first I want to talk about this place I call the inbetween, its this area in which it is all black, and I am conscious, I was wondering if this is some astral plane or not. I have found my self there a lot, sometimes I hear a part of me talking there, I can see my arms and such there as well when I look at them, and once I put my hand to my ear to hear the voices louder. The other night in the inbetween I saw some aliens there which I may have manifested in some way.  I also have a question about OBE's is it possible to start from some where else besides where you are sleeping, because I seemed to lastnight, I relised I was asleep, and it was some other type of body of mine that I was in, so I decided to fly, is this Astral, an OBE or a Lucid dream, when I was flying it was through blackness maybe some sort of medium, its sort of cloudy flowing stuff.  I also have a question about this being, entity or something that has been helping me with OBE's on occation it seems to be there, when I get out of my physical body at times,  it has a black cloak, and a white body, the cloak tends to do manifest some of my impressions of it. I kind of described it as bats because it was at a different vibrational rate and so was the body of the entity then I seemed to be at, and then bats appeared from it. I have seen this entity like four times, and one time it flew with me like it was on my back and I was holding its arms if you have any ideas or comments about this it would be appreciated Thanks
