My progress towards AP

[Joehadenuf-MOH-]

It's been a number of weeks since I have had my first experience. And close to every day since then I have been either reading, building on techniques, practicing various forms of energy work, experimenting with Bw-Gen and other tracks, controlling my focus and even some work with telekinesis, all have produced various results.
                                    
First off I would will say I have not projected since then, or at least knowingly. There were times however when it seemed as if I did, but where the exit would normally take place, I completely blacked out.

My energy work has been useful, and if nothing else, it has proven to be very real experience. Im not sure how much of my body needs to work this way or not, but at least my hands and legs can be sort of "turned on" at will. The sensation I get is like an electrifying one as if I kind of spark or ignite my hands. I get various vibrations and a lot of misfiring nerves when I focus on them. My legs do the same thing, I have a difficult time controlling them, if at all, and they only appear to do it when I am attempting a projection. My hands however seem to work just fine, and depending on the level of attention and focus I give them, the greater the energy becomes.

I decided to take this ability and apply it to telekinesis, so I constructed a rather simple yet effective way to test this. I found a glass bottle, glued a piece of thread to the bottom of the cap, then glued a matchstick to the other end of the thread. After it dried, I poked a sewing needle perpendicular though the wood and suspended the cross in the of the bottle. With about 2 weeks of practice I am able to get it to move, and the results continue to increase.

After getting to a point where I could see noticeable results in energy work and telekinesis, I once again attempted to project. So far, all of my attempts have taken place at night in bed, either when I first go to bed, or around 2:00am. All of my attempts have been with the aid of tracks, Boxed Nirvana, and Abyss. The following are accounts of my projection attempts:

The first one I recall was around 11, or 12 at night. I got into bed put on my headphones, (Boxed Nirvana) and proceeded to do some simple stretches followed by relaxation and focus on my energy body. I reach a critical point in my concentration after about 5-10 minutes of this. It is because I am either too critical about where how I rest my body or I just cant find a comfortable position. (I normally sleep on my side, but since my first projection was done wile I was flat on my back, and it is very uncomfortable to lie on my side with headphones on) the matter consumes much of my though and energy. This time however I was able to keep my mind clear.

After lying for a good 15-20 minutes, I started feeling the tingling sensation all over. My hands, arms and legs were particularly noticeable and soon became electric. I started feeling the swaying, and floating sensations. I noticed my breathing was starting to change, and shortly after this discovery something kind of freaked me out. I was breathing twice over.. One, was my lungs and chest that I could control.. And the other seemed to be an involuntary double even when I knew I was holding my breath, I could still feel a second set of chest and lungs rising and falling.

I focused on my breathing and within another 5 minutes, the swaying and floating sensation became greater and I felt a popping, almost pulsing sensation on the temples of my head. Right after that it felt as if my legs dropped underneath my mattress. After floating for a bit, I started losing all sensations of my body, my limbs became numb and soon seemed to disappear completely. At that point I seemed to shrink to a point of existence floating in a void of 3D blackness. It wasn't long after that when everything I perceived just blacked out. I remember absolutely nothing after that, and I woke up with about 8 hours later with a splitting headache. Throughout that day I saw visions of symbols and lights with my eyes open and closed.

My second really memorable attempt took place a few days ago. It was around 3 in the morning, I had just to bed, I put my headphones on (this time Abyss) I didn't even have a chance to relax, 15-30 seconds into listening to the track, my body started lighting up with electricity and the sides of my head violently popped, as if someone was standing on my head with a plunger. Everything happened so fast, I was starting to see colors in my closed eyelids, and patches of blackness stood out from the rest and took on a sort of visual vibration. Soon my body produced the same vibration. Not even 5 minutes after beginning I now felt a flying sensation and the same double breathing as before. It felt as if I picked up and started flying feet first. Throughout the experience the sensations varied from flying forward, rising high into the air, floating back down, generally, it felt like I left my bed, but when I opened my eyes. I was right were I left off. After attempting to restart the process, I got close to the same results, and again, I blacked out.

The next day yet another strange thing happened. I show up to my first period class, and I brought with me an eraser with the words yes and no on it, (I've had this eraser for many years, and it seems to always give the right answers when it is spun a certain way, one of my friends asked, "is so and do going to die?" the eraser says yes.. The next person says "is so this person going to die?" again, it says yes, back and forth they asked different names with the same question like 5 or 6 times, and every time it landed on yes, one of my classmates remarked "everyone dies, it's just a matter of when" then on the last spin, somone asked if Vincent was going to die, (me) I spun in and it landed on its edge, (no mark) so I pushed it on its side so where it said "No" the friend to the left of me said "hey, you can't cheat like that" and I said something to the effect "I make my own reality" and It was from that moment on, and for the rest of the day, it pretty much came true.

At first I thought things were just happening as coincidence, but soon what was happening was starting to freak me out.. All I had to do was think it, and it would happen... I could work people, situations, and even time like a puppet. If said to myself "that person is going to turn around and look at me", he would. If I said to myself, "that car is going to hit the breaks and go in reverse" it would, if I said "this teacher will be in a really good mood, and give us no work" he would smile and play music the entire period. If I said "the bell wont ring and I wont be late" the bell would be a few minutes late and I could slip in without being noticed"

I could even make people talk to me and appear when they were nowhere to be seen prior to the thought. When I returned home, I saw a strange pare of sunglasses set on my livingroom table, the thought popped in my head... "that reminds me of one of my earliest childhood memories, a dream I had once, a long time ago. I was sitting on my bed and in my open closet I saw a sort of glowing broad sword propped up against the inner wall, I remarked, "it was like Excalibur" looking back, it was funny how I could come up with such a thought at such a young age, and after reminiscing, I walked over and picked up the glasses. On the sides the word "Excalibur"
was printed in the plastic.

This kind of thing happened all day. Long, it worked even to the extent of looking up to the sky and thinking about UFOs, and sure enough, about 2 or 3 thousand feet up, moving from North to South, was a transparent, glowing, triangular craft moving at a high speed. I was blown away be these experiences, and I think they may have something to do with the training I have been doing, all of these stories are interesting to me, and all of them have me asking questions. I am posting my experiences in order to get some feedback. I feel I am making some progress towards astral projection, and I have  definitely seen some side effects, but what advice can you guys give me at this point in my work?  

any insight will be appreciated
and I look forward to posting more experiences as they come.

I don't know what your looking for exactly as far as answers go. I have to thank you for posting this and the bottle idea is great. This will for sure help you to astral travel. It sounds to me like you have a firm grasp of focused thoughts and should continue to feed this ability. It is this ability that will help you perfect the ability to astral travel. If you apply in the same way that you made things happen that day to astral travel, I think you will find the results very rewarding. Let me know if you have questions, but keep in mind that I too am a work in progress so to speak, so I am by no means am a pro at this. I will help if I can and journey well!
