I've got an idea for an Astral Pulse Island Experiment. Everyone is welcome to participate. The experiment is as follows:
1. Below I've created a password encoded RAR file with a photograph of an item. (Don't worry its nothing pornographic). Please download the RAR file and save it so you know I didn't change it after the fact. (I wouldn't change it anyway, but just so you know for sure.)
http://rapidshare.com/files/363286196/APITest01.rar
2. Tonight 3/14/2010 I will place that very item on one of the beaches of API. I may not be able to make an item "exactly" like the photo, but the item in the photo is unique enough that you'll wont be able to mistake it for anything else. I'll try to make it as close to the item in the photo as possible. Afterward I'll post and let everyone know the item has been placed.
3. You project any time after that and try to see what the item is. Then come back and post here what item you saw on the beach. (If you don't see it at first, be sure to check all the beaches)
4. After people have had the opportunity to post what item they saw, I will post the password for the RAR file so you can unrar it and see the photo of the item.
Good luck!
Cool experience, too bad i cant participate :(
I hope its a long password or people can crack it.
Item has been placed.
A square metal box, like a file. I also see little liquid drops on it.
Hallo Zasifras
Please hold off posting the contents of the encoded file for at least one more night as I would like to try to project to API tonight (Tuesday 3/16). If I can't actually Ap to API then I still might get an image during a visualization meditation of API. You have a good idea and I would like to give it a try. Thanx
Hi CFTraveler
Did you actually make it to API out of body??? If so I am quite interested to read some of the details. It has been quite a while since I have read an OBE account of API.
Regards 8-)
Grey
No, I actually remote-viewed the scene. Since there were waves, palm fronds and water on a beach, I assumed I was in the right place.
I'll hold off on the password for the rar for a few days to give folks time to project. Went back and checked and its still there.
Well not a whole lot of participants, but for those who did try the password is: "flamchicken"
Zasifras, I couldn't get it myself, I've never been to API, but I love its concept and your idea for testing it was just great.
I look forward to seeing what those who actually got there saw. I wished more experiments like this one took place more often :)
Horacio.
When I tried to download it it tried to sell me a premium account. Can't you just post it here? Copy and paste, or upload?
Hrm while it does try to sell you a premium account, you should just be able to click the free button and download it. Bleh the board won't let me attach an attachment. But at this point, I'll just link it at image shack:

Thank you. And now you know how bad I am at this.
Is this an ongoing thing? I really enjoy these, even if I suck at them.
All right I'm up for another go round with this test if anybody is interested.
OR I could pick an image and keep it next to a drawing of Astral Pulse Island that I sometimes use for meditation. I could pick an image, place it next to the API drawing and give you all several days to attempt to OBE or remote view the image. You would have to trust me of course. I have no reason to be dishonest in this.
Any takers??
Regards 8-)

Sure. Let us know when you do it.
Hi all
ALRIGHT. Tomorrow night at about 6 PM eastern time (US) I will select one image and place that image next to my drawing of Astral Pulse Island.
Both the selected image and the API drawing will remain together in full view upstairs in the house where I live. I will leave those images there untouched for (at least) the next 3 days (until Thursday).
Anyone interested in taking this challenge should attempt to view the selected image by
1) attempting to OBE to API to view the image
2) OBE to the house where I live to view the image
or
3) remote view the image clairvoyantly.
So, again, I will begin the experiment tomorrow unless someone wants to suggest a change or modification.
Regards and good luck 8-)
Grey
API challenge update.
Last night I Did select an image. It is taped to a wall next to a drawing of API. The selected image is easily visible from the middle of the room. Good luck to anyone attempting to view it.
Also. Last night I had a Dream of an OBE.
The dream began while riding in a car driven by a young women. Suddenly I and the other male passenger were out of body flying about 50 - 70 feet above a small river. I could clearly see the car, and the three occupants in it, including myself, on a narrow, twisting road about 100 -200 feet away. I immediately realized that it was an OBE but did NOT realize that it was a dream?? :?
I post the Dream here because there might be a possibility that I perceived someone in the astral/ethereal who was OOB making an attempt to view the selected image in my residence?!?
So if anybody got out of body last night (Monday/Tuesday) and/or had a dream about driving/riding in a car on a hilly road above a small river then please respond.
Thanx and Regards 8-)
Grey
I like this experiment and tried it. The first time I tried I was in a light trance and said to myself: I'm going to Astral Pulse Island. After a few seconds I heard a voice saying:" That is not possible". :? Then I tried a few more times but alas, it didn't work. And I also tried last night/this morning. But I keep trying, it is a good exercise. :-)
I can tell you why it's not possible.
The astral plane is a spiritual realm located internally, meaning inside your chakras, inside your mind. The 'Astral Pulse Island' is a creation of the individual and everyone you see there will be fictional.
In order for this experiment to be successful you will need to travel 'out of body', to the RTZ as Mr. Bruce likes to call it. Here you can go to an actual island located in the Bahamas (or wherever) and communicate with each other.

I haven't participated because I haven't had time to practice. Is it still on? I was afraid you'd 'reveal' today. If you keep it out longer, I will try tonight.

Kurt, I project into other people's dreams all the time, so I know it's possible.
Anyway, you can remote view/project into his room (RTZ) and look at the pictures, if that's your talent.

Yes, it is possible for you to project your awareness into anothers mind. When this happens you will find yourself in their chakra system or their 'dreams'.
In order for this experiment to work then, you would need to project your consciousness directly into Greytraveller's mind or whoever is the one designing the Astral Pulse Island. Good like with that.

While in the RTZ I find that it's difficult to 'see' anything that's not biological or living. Pictures or pieces of paper don't have much energy and are very hard to see while out of body. An island on the other hand has very much energy and so do people.
I trust the Monroe/Frank phasing model, so I believe API is a common locale is F3oC. I will attempt to project to the island tomorrow morning. Of course, the phasing models are still just theories, but they seem to have more reliability than other theories, such as the 4th and 5th densities etc being seperate planes and the astral being internal. Every website i could find in a google search just used these densities as different names for the etheric, astral, mental etc so I'm just wondering how you are so confident that your theories are the correct ones and should be taken as fact Kurt. Im asked before and I don't seem to get a straight answer.

As I've said before, these are just
my theories and the way I look at things. They aren't facts and they might not even be correct, that's why it's just a theory...
It warms my belly to see Jean Luc here.
The astral is a subjective place. It is what you want it to be.
It seems like I'm the only one these days, but I support some of Kurt's dimensional theory based on my experience of the metaphysical.
It should be noted, Monroe and Frank aren't the end all be all authority on AP. People were doing it long before them and they will be doing it long into the future. Not to sound ungrateful, their work helped me tremendously. But, their experiences are still "their" experiences and therefore subjective. Even if their work is born out of the most objectively scientific mind, without concrete "proof" their experience is still just theory. And it seems that until our technology evolves a bit we won't be able to provide objective proof of astral experiences. Until then, it's all subjective.
Just to clarify, I don't know you Jean-Luc, I'm just a really big Star Trek fan.

Word
Hi everyone.
Wow, alot more interest in this than I thought there would be. And that's good!! :-)
So, a two part post here.
Part One --- regarding the actual experiment. Yes, It is still on for anyone who is interested. The selected image will remain where it currently is until ---
a) someone correctly discovers it (by whatever means) or
b) there is no longer any interest.
Part two --- theory about Astral Pulse Island. (API)
I tend to describe the astral plane as an objective location. Just my opinion. In this matter I follow Robert Monroe's ideas in his first two books and much less Monroe's later theories about focus levels.
As this pertains to API. I see API as a temporary objective location "somewhere' on an astral/ethereal plane. Don't know exactly where it is as I have never been there out of body.
Regardless of this everyone should also be aware that the selected image is in a Physical location. This is the best that I can do because I cannot be sure that I placed that image on API. I attempted to do just that via meditation but, well it is highly questionable whether I actually mentally imprinted that image upon API.
Good luck to all. 8-)
Regards
Grey
Hi Grey, I'll have a try. Is it a belt? :-D
Probably not. :lol:
Timandra
It is Not a belt. Keep trying and Good Luck.
Regards
Grey 8-)
My first and only attempt - I rarely try "psychic" stuff. I can't believe this to be correct, but it's what I saw:
First off, I had API in mind, but that didn't happen. Instead, I saw a 2 story house with a fairly big front porch, and it looked like it had a lot of surrounding trees and shade, maybe in a wooded area (maybe not). It was a little dark and colors were hard to tell. Then a flash to what I felt to be in an upstairs room and a picture of a rainbow and with a unicorn.
So... Rainbows and Unicorns? Or are my meditations getting awfully cheesy?
edit ------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried again last night, with similar results. This time I plunged my hands into the sand at API (not planned, just instinctive) and got a vision of something like a pink homemade birthday card with stickers on it, like unicorns and rainbows, and colored dragon stickers, kinda like yoshi.
I got to thinking about it, and my niece's 7th birthday is this this week. The house in the original looked similar to theirs too. And her bedroom is upstairs. And she's been playing her Mario Kart I got her for her birthday (has yoshi). Maybe that's where it's coming from. If that's the case, this is in the wrong thread!
Is it a cup of coffee?? :-D

Stookie, Timandra and Xanth. Thanx to all of you for participating.
Stookie
No, not quite. Your one success is that the image is plainly visible in an upstairs floor of my residence, third floor not second though. No rainbows or dragons in the image. What is Yoshi btw.
Timandra
No, not a cup of coffee. Keep trying please.

Thanx WASD for the info.
Yoshi is Not the selected image. Nor is it any other video game character.

Grey 8-)
I haven't seen a picture this time but I did see a house. Is your house on a slope Grey? If not then I have to do some more Remote Viewing studying... :-D
Timandra
Yes the house in which I live IS on a slope. Nice work there! In fact it is a fairly steep hill.
Next time you get that same image of the house try to go inside to the third floor. Maybe you will be able to view the selected image.
Good Luck.
Regards 8-)
Grey
YES!! My first little success! (jumps around in the house...)
I haven't tried again because I expected it to be wrong, but now I will really try!
Actually I was at first going to ask if you lived halfway a hill, but looked in my dictionary and thought that slope was a better word.
To be continued... :-D
These are some good exercises in practicing intent. Even if you don't get the correct answer, you're still focusing your intent on a particular thing, and over time it'll strengthen this ability. I've been meaning to try again as well.

I'll have to give this one a shot tonight too. :)
Okay, I'll have another try; is it a square with a circle inside, with the circle touching the 4 sides of the square?
Weird, this morning I dreamed of an island with two pavillions on it, one was a cube-shape with a dome on it, and another was a smaller version of it. They were different colors (the roof being one color like red or purple) and the walls/arches being a lighter color like yellow or cream. If I can do a quick sketch on paint I'll put it in.
I couldn't upload the sketch, so I put it in my photobucket account.
Here it is:
(http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd58/CFTraveler/Pavilions.jpg)
Timandra
OOOooh, you are REALLY close !! The shapes that you describe --- a circle inside a square are accurate as far as that goes. However, to give you FULL CREDIT you must provide more detail.
Try again and this time focus on the colors. Also try to pick up what the shapes actually represent.
I think that you are on the right track so encourage you to keep trying.
Good luck, regards 8-)
Grey
I'm really surprised!! :-D So yes, I will keep trying!
Grey
Okay, I saw something this afternoon. Yesterday I saw something else but I'll go for this. That circle, is it the yin/yang symbol? (so, black and white)
The square could be a frame or a border but that is just a guess, I didn't see that this time.
I'm really curious about your answer!! :-)
LoL The clue has biased anything I can get! >_<
I'll try tonight a bit and see what I come up with...
Although off the top of my head, after reading everything... I can't stop thinking of a snowglobe. >_>
Timandra
No it is Not the Yin/Yang symbol. However, I must admit that your guess about the square being a border is Correct.
Xanth
Not it is Not a snowglobe.
Actually not that much has been revealed so far. The only info 'discovered' to date is that the selected symbol is bordered by a square and contains a noticeable circle in it. That still leaves a LOT of possibilities.
I encourage ALL participants to continue trying.
Good luck and regards 8-)
Grey
I didn't have any luck with seeing something like what could be the image the last 2 days. Yesterday I didn't see anything and this afternoon I only saw 3 different faces.
I have to admit that earlier I did see much more than Grey's house and the square/circle. I also heard a man's name, a city, a profession. I saw an event, a basement, people and I think these could be personal things about Grey...
So I will pm you later on Grey, just in case I have things right and you don't want them in the open. But I have to say I get a lot of images almost every day and night so these ones all could be random like normally. Anyway, I will try again this evening to see the image. :-)
Timandra
Right, now I AM really interested. Please do pm or email me and I will give you either a thumbs up :-D or else a thumbs down :? on any info you got.
Regards 8-)
Grey
I have tried 4 more times to see the image, but I get nothing anymore. :-(
Now I am very curious if I have anything correct of what I wrote to Grey in a pm!
And another attempt this afternoon; is it a planet, earth?
And ofcourse I would like to know if I had anything right of what I wrote to you Grey :-D
Hallo everyone.
A quick suggestion regarding the duration of this experiment. How long would you like this particular experiment to continue? Personally one more week to as long as ten more days seems about right. Then, if anyone is interested we can begin another experiment.
Timandra
Check the astral pulse pm regarding those images that you saw.
No, it is not Planet Earth.
Regards 8-)
Grey
To me a week is fine, don't know about the other participants? I don't think I will get it, somehow it is not working anymore like it used to. I do get images but nothing to do with something being round. And I am curious now what the thing is. :-D

I agree. I think that after a while results can become more biased, so it's good to start something new.
Hello everyone.
Okay we do have a quorum of a sort. Today is Friday April 30. I will let this experiment continue for One more week and then will post the Selected image here on this thread in the afternoon or evening Friday May 7 (Eastern Time US).
I agree that an experiment Can become stale after a certain time and this particular experiment has run longer than most others.
So please try one (or two) more times. Remember that Timandra Did correctly see a circle inside a square.
And Good Luck :-) :wink:

I don't think you are making it this difficult, but this morning I tried to get the image and this came into my mind so I post it anyway:

A whirling dervish
I't's not a real circle either but otherwise I don't know how I came up with this, it is never on my mind... :-D
Timandra
No, not a whirling dervish. However, you are right in that the circle is not a perfect circle.
Keep trying and good luck.
Regards 8-)
Grey
QuoteHowever, you are right in that the circle is not a perfect circle.
Aha! Then I have another answer. I saw this image a while ago but thought that it had to be a perfect circle.
Is there a toadstool in the image??
Timandra
Once again you are Very close! It is not a toadstool exactly BUT it is a Plant.
That being said there is still more to the selected image for you to uncover, namely the colors and what the image represents. Since you are so close and our experiment will end no later than this Friday I will give you a clue --- the selected image is in some way connected to Music.
Keep trying and see what happens! :wink:
Good luck and regards 8-)
Grey
Grey,
Well, so this is the last day. I didn't see anything that could be your image these last days even though you said I was very close, all I see are fractals (yes I see them at night).
I will have to guess, but I think this image is too difficult for beginners. It has objects, colours to uncover and the image representing something. Can't you just put up an image of one simple clear object for the next time? Don't know what the other people think about this...
So, is it a tree with apples? And Apple used to be the record label for the Beatles. You don't have a Beatles record up on your wall do you? :lol: This is the only thing I can think of and I know it's wrong :-D
But I will keep trying with the next experiment. :-)
Greetings all
Just a reminder that I will post the selected image on this thread later tonight. If anyone wants to take one more try then you still have about 6 to 10 hours.
Timandra
The selected image is really not very complex. Check back on this thread at about 10 to 11:00 PM eastern time US tonight to view the image.

Good Day for all
Here is the link for the image that I selected for our experiment. I tried to copy and paste the image here but that did not work. If there are any problems using this link please let me know.
http://www.metal-archives.com/images/6/7/4/5/6745.jpg
This is the cover of the rock group "Lacuna Coil's" CD titled 'Comalies". Not quite sure what type of flower that is. Timandra you came really close to getting this. If you had been able to describe the vivid orange color I would have given you full credit. Everyone else did a good job as well. Sometimes simply exercising and practicing one's OBE and remote viewing skills is as important as actually successfully completing an experiment.
Also, if anyone has an idea for a future experiment then I would certainly like to hear it.
Thanx to everyone who participated.
Regards 8-)
Grey
Oooh, now I see that a circle in a square was the most accurate answer that I gave. I wonder why I saw it as a symbol though and not that it was an orange sunflower....
But I have done some practising now and am ready for the next challenge. And one day I will succeed! :-D
I am late for the game!!! I hope you are playing another round!!
Hallo Bacterio
I too hope that there will be another experiment. Has anyone any ideas or suggestions???
Grey 8-)
Oh, I was assuming that you were going to supply another item/image for us to figure out.
~Ryan :)
Xanth
Well, yes, I can do that If nobody else volunteers to host the experiment. I'll give it a couple of days and then, if nobody steps forward, I will 'volunteer' to select another image and 'host' another experiment.

It is fine by me Grey, if you select a new image to "view". I hope this time there will be some more participants. :)
I'll definitely give it a second, more productive shot. LoL
I see Timandra was quite near...we will see if it was luck.
Why don't we all place something in the island "astrally" so everybody can play, otherwise graytraveller will lose again the oportunity to play.
tonight I will put something...
The item wasn't on Astral Pulse Island.
This was a real, physical, tangible item that Greytraveler had in his house. :)
~Ryan
I think it would be the most ideal if there were 2 hosts, so that also the hosts have the chance to participate in at least one of the experiments. :)

yes I know, but it would be better to use an astral place instead of a room...if you want to try remote viewing there are some places in the web where you can practice using codes related with certain places.

I can put something in the island tonight when I practice with Hemi-sync. When I attended TMI's gateway one participant saw something a friend put in a certain focus level for her. It is an interesting thing.
I will put this picture: http://rapidshare.com/files/386145570/Quizz.rar.html
I`ll give the password once we finish the experiment.
I havent actually tried going to the island yet but I just closed my eyes and thought about it for a second and saw a blue transparent cd case with a cd in it sitting on a beach.

I dind't place it.
The "thing" I placed there is sitting on the beach...tonight I will have a look if is still there!
lol I just realised a cd in its case is a circle within a square. I had just read the previous posts. I guess I'm pretty susceptible to the power of suggestion.
I wont make any more guesses unless I think I've actually gotten to the island and seen something.
I know I can't go to API, it just doesn't happen, so I don't think I can "see" the image there.
I just would like to know what Grey says about it and if he really wants to host another experiment.
And I say "thank you Grey" for the first experiment. :-)

If you say you can't you will not go...it is not necessary be there in 3D stereo. Just relax, let your surface thoughts go and
pretend you go there...imagine it, walk the beach and feel the sand, touch a palm tree, listen the surf...let the scenary to absorb you...and maybe you see something it is not supposed to be there. I can tell you it works...open your mind and be confident.
Greetings to Everyone.
Your interest in our experiments Is most heartening.
I have decided to 'volunteer' and place a selected image both in a room in my residence And to mentally transmit that image to API during daily meditation sessions. However, please make NO attempts tonight as I have Not yet selected an image.
Xanth I agrree with your statement that
Quoteit would be better to use an astral place instead of a room..
And that it why I will mentally imprint the image onto the API pyramid during a daily 15 to 30 minute meditation session. Th meditation sessions will allow me to work on and improve my visualizations skills which are, quite frankly, not the best.
Timandra
You possess more skills at going out of body and in remote viewing than you realize. I agree with Bacterio's assertion that most of the obstacles that you face are self imposed and can be overcome. Also remember that you do Not necessarily need to OBE to API to see the image as that image is also available in a physical location. Also, you are welcome. :-)
Bacterio
Are you also selecting an image to use for the experiment ? If so that would be good as 2 possibilities are better than just one.
I like your suggestions about the look, sound and feel of API. I will try to keep them in mind when attempting to go there OOB in the coming days.
Everyone
Again, please check back in this thread tomorrow evening (Eastern time US). By that time I can get another image up and the new experiment can begin.
Regards 8-)
Grey
I will try to find the image in both experiments.
QuoteI know I can't go to API, it just doesn't happen, so I don't think I can "see" the image there.
I said the above because for some reason I 'haven't had an OBE, a phasing or a LD for almost 2 months, and I really miss it. :-(
And it made me doubt that I can see images like I used to because I didn't see anything anymore the last week of Grey's experiment.
But I won't give up, so hopefully I can give some answers here soon. :-)

Yep...I placed it tuesday night. There is a link above to download a rar file with the picture. It's only in API. I hope it works.
Hallo All
A day later than I said BUT I Did select an image last night so this new experiment is on for anyone who is interested.
Bacterio
Outstanding. Participants now have 2 choices. People can either choose to try to view either your image or mine.. I, for example will try view your image. And Bacterio you can also be an active participant by trying to either go OOB or RV to view my selected image. This should keep everyone busy and interested for at least a week or two.
Regards 8-)
Grey
I have many doubts if anything is correct but I had the same with the first experiment so here it goes.
-Bacterio, is it an animal in a cage?
-Grey, is it an image of a baby?
:-D
Timandra
Again you're efforts are impressive!! :-o Just one small detail, however, and that is you probably inadvertently switched bacterio's image with my image. You see, my selected image includes an animal. Now maybe Bacterio's image Also includes an animal? Possible, but unlikely.
Anyway try again and focus on the details of the image. A couple hints. First there Is a dominant color. Second, there is also motion.
Good work, keep trying you Are getting close And Good Luck.
Grey 8-)
I am in bed with flu so I am not traveling to API :-D
Mine is not an animal...I don't want to give more clues because the less information the less you guess...
Timandra, you are always near.

In my opinion it looks like you can perceive what is there, but is the interpretation your mind does what is not accurate...I think you are good at this, keep trying!!!
QuoteIn my opinion it looks like you can perceive what is there, but is the interpretation your mind does what is not accurate...
You could very well be right. Now I have to find the right interpretation of the things I see...
I wish I just could see the image like it is, but okay, I'm just a beginner.
Grey, I have seen an image of a squirrel. Not a grey one, but of that beautiful reddish brown, like a fox.
Could it be your image??
Haven't seen "movement" yet. :-)
Hi Timandra
The animal in my image is not a squirrel. Keep trying. If you feel "blocked" and unable to see anything more of my image then I suggest you switch over to bacterio's image.
btw I feel it only fair to tell everyone that so far I have Not mentally imprinted my image on to API. You see I was out of town over the weekend and have yet to do a meditation with the image and API. So far the only way anyone could have seen my image was to either go OOB or remote view my physical residence.

Okay I am going to have one more try, if that one is not correct I will switch over to Bacterio's image. Also because I have the feeling that I am creating images of all sorts of animals because I now know that it's an animal.
So is it a cheetah? I saw an image of one running fast.
And where are the other participants?....
A giant brown bear?
JK, I had a dream about it a few days ago.
I know Bacterio's isn't an animal, and Greytraveller said he hasn't placed it on the island yet, so I'm pretty sure I just imagined this, but it is going to bug me if I don't at least ask.
In Focus 12 this morning, I started focusing on Astral Pulse Island, and I got an image of a monkey sitting on the beach. So, does anyone's image have a monkey in it?
Hi. I've seen a Koala bear (hunging in tree).
Greetings Everyone :-)
Timandra
No, it is not a cheetah.
You may want to try to view Bacterio's image for a day or two if you are running into problems viewing my image. Switching from one object to another can keep this experiment fresh and interesting.
CF Traveler
No, it is not a brown bear. Nice try.
Chris J.
You have the come the closest so far to identifying the animal in my image. You are Close but it is not a monkey. Please try again.

Hi Grey. Is it a Koala? I saw an animal hunging in a tree and it was much like a Koala but it could be a sloth.
QuoteJust relax, let your surface thoughts go and pretend you go there...imagine it, walk the beach and feel the sand, touch a palm tree, listen the surf...let the scenary to absorb you...and maybe you see something it is not supposed to be there. I can tell you it works...open your mind and be confident.
Bacterio, I did what you suggested, I walked on the beach, touched a palmtree and what did I see in the sand? A tv...
So is that you image? :-D

Sorry, it isn't a TV. I will make it bigger today.
I finally 'actually' phased there. Don't know if what I saw there was what was placed there, but I'll recount anyway:
I got up early with a backache, sat on my recliner. My first idea was for a short nap before wakey time, and then I remembered the API experiment. I tried to imagine what the beach looked like, and tried to recreate the feeling of seeing the pyramid in the distance as I walked amongst the palm trees on the waterfront. After a while of this, I began to 'see' the environment. I was there, walking (not floating or 'being') and I could feel my feet touching the sand and my body feeling the breeze. I could see the pyramid in the distance.
Suddenly there was a fresh, green apple on my hand. This startled me awake, and I started to go back in, and all of a sudden I was on this beach with palm trees around, sitting on a colorful table, and I startled again, and saw it was time to get up, and then I did, and it was the end of that.
So, either apple or table- with colorful covers.

Mine is not an apple nor a table. Today I concentrated on it again and I resized it to make it bigger.
Hallo to all
First off I commend everyone who continues to participate. Secondly to
Bacterio, no it is not a koala. Please try again.
CFTraveler
Well done on phasing to API. To my knowledge you are the first person to visit API (other than in meditation) for quite some time. My image is also neither an apple nor a table. Remember that there Is an animal prevalent in the image.
To all a subtle clue. This clue will probably Not help But I do find it VERY coincidental that the artist of the picture that I selected as my image passed away about a week ago. Strange indeed! :-o :?
Regards :-)

The artist who I referred to that recently passed did not have the initials R J D. Coincidentally you are referring to another (recently deceased) artist.

I actually got the chance to meditate this morning and I'm pleased to say, I didn't fall asleep.
I thought I would give the API another shot, since it was up front in my mind. I want to say up front, I realize now, or at least I think I realize..lol, what I was doing the first time we started API, years ago, after reading this thread. I've been remote viewing. I have no real knowledge of remote viewing and will educate myself right after I recount what I experienced this morning though.
I was very pleasantly surprised to find trance didn't take too long at all and I saw the island in the distance and went in for a closer look. Usually I would just fly over endless amounts of ocean, searching for the dang thing, but that didn't even happen this time. I saw that tiki bar to the left, no one has mentioned that thing.. is it suppose to still be there? And a boat off to the right. The Pyramid has never been very solid for me, and that held true this trip as well. I don't understand why it's not more prevalent for me.
Anyway, I saw a Penguin flash by and it startled me out of the trance. The black and white contrast was really obvious to me so.... there ya go. :-D
Grey, is it a lemur jumping from one tree to another?
Bacterio, is it a pair of sunglasses? 8-)
I was effected by the clues provided to those who guessed wrongly. I did take a visual stroll through the island however, and an image that appeared strongly to me was the "masculine" symbol, the astrological symbol for mars. I saw it engraved or kind of burned onto the pyramid.
Anyway, I would be interested to find out whether that is close to the image you imprinted.
thanks,
Lysear
Greetings all
Timandra
No, sorry, it is not a lemur. Please keep trying.
Lysear
You have done well as the symbols that you saw were very accurate. Mars and a masculine symbol fit the contents of my image well. If you try to focus on the occult color corresponding to Mars then that might help you in viewing the image.
Good luck.
Grey :-)
I'm walking on a beach, I touch a palm tree, and I look down to see... SAND!
And also a kangaroo
Amirite or amirite?
Yes, the symbol was also red I neglected to mention that. I will try and remote view the location again this evening. Its been a while for me, I am just getting back into the whole thing after a couple years break!
Lysear.
To Chubysnow
Congrats on participating in the experiment and yet, no, my image does not include a kangaroo. Nor amirite either. Keep trying.
To Bacterio
Does your image contain either a car or a bus?? I did not actually see those at API but I have had a Very high number of dreams involving travel, mostly by car or bus. Also have had a dream or two about travelling in a train. Yes, this is more of a guess than an actual OBE or RV but thought that I would mention it just on the off-chance that it could be relevant.
Regards to all and Keep trying.
Grey
A couple of nights ago I dreamed (it was a dream, not a phase or an OBE) of the first place I dreamed about where I saw the pavilions (that I roughly drew in a previous post before I phased to API). I didn't dream of any object or anyone in specific that I remember, but I keep going there, and the atmosphere is the same- it's nighttime at the beach, there's the remains of a party that's breaking down and people are leaving.
Not sure why I keep on going there, especially if I have no conscious intention of going there. (The subconscious is another deal, of course).
So, I guess it wasn't a penguin either. I don't know why the black and white was so in my face then.
I have seen the colour orange/reddish brown several times, mentioned as the colour of a fox or a squirrel. Last night I had a very unusual dream and there was a tiger, who put his large head on my lap.
So Grey, perhaps the animal is a tiger??
Hi Timandra
No, the animal is not a tiger.
There is one clue that might help. The picture that I selected has very vivid energetic images. It is motion and action. If you see it then you will see dramatic action, not a still picture/photo of an animal.
Regards 8-)
Grey
A hardy good weekend to one and all :-)
I see that the last post in this thread was 8 days ago (and that was by me btw). So this leads to the question --- has this latest OBE experiment with API run its course?? :? Is it time to conclude the current experiment (and maybe start another)??? :?
I would rather begin something new, or even wait a few weeks, rather than let the current experiment continue with no interest and no active participation.
What do You Think?? :?
Ideas, anybody?
Curious :|
Grey
yes, perhaps you should put us out of our misery! we should then begin a new experiment,
Lysear
I second that emotion.
QuoteIs it time to conclude the current experiment (and maybe start another?
That's okay by me too, but I 'll have one more try. Is it a large flock of flamingo's? Where a part is sitting, or walking and a part flying? All in different directions?
Greetings all. I 'revived' this oldish thread to post an alert about the API experiment. The group over at astralviewers ( www.astralviewers.com ) is starting up an experiment to visit Astral Pulse Island. So I thought that Now might be the time to renew our own efforts to visit API. That way it might be possible to cross check results with any successful projectors from astral viewers and, maybe, get some type of verification.
This would only include either travelling OOB, phasing or remote viewing API. No physical locations or computer generated images would be involved.
Anyone interested?! If so please reply here.
btw I will make my first attempt tonight.
Regards 8-)
Grey
Cross-Forum-Experiment!
Now THAT'S awesome!
I added a post to my website regarding API as well: http://unlimitedboundaries.ca/2011/01/07/astral-pulse-island/
Hopefully that gets more involvement.
My coming practice sessions are going to revolve around API, I believe. :)
I will try, but I haven't been very good at controlling anything lately :)
Xanth and moondreamer. Good luck to both of you. The more people that participate the more likely it is that someone will succeed at visiting API. See you both there!
Regards 8-)
Grey
I have been to API many times, in my visualizations. :-D I'd love to go there and will also try again, but since I haven't had an OBE for a long time, :-( , not a big chance.
But I won't give up.
Greetings everyone.
I wanted to inform everybody here that a member of the Astral Viewers website DID have a successful OBE/AP to API the other night!
The user name of that person is Summerlander. You can read about his OBE at www.astralviewers.com in either the OBE/AP Experiences Forum or in Summerlanders Journal in the Journals section.
And btw I am still attempting to go to API OOB but as yet have had no success. (I did have another OBE recently and that will be posted in the Out of Body Experiences Forum in a day or two.)
So a friendly reminder that if you Do have an OBE and are wondering what to do while OOB then make an attempt to reach API :-)
Regards 8-)
Grey
Thanks for that, grey! Much appreciated! I was actually going to post my experience here. Well, here it is... :-D
01/02/2011:
I was tired around 12.45am so I went to bed and fell asleep shortly after that. An unknown number rang Stacey's mobile and I woke up. I got up, walked out of the bedroom and looked at the clock in the hallway. It was almost 3.10am and I felt primed for an OOBE. I used the toilet and went back to the bedroom. My mouth was a bit dry and I had heartburn so I took two indigestion tablets and drank some water. I stretched my limbs, rubbed my cold skin and took deep breaths before going back to bed around 4am. I lay on my back, closed my eyes, and tensed all possible muscles at the same for about half a minute before relaxing. Then I said to myself that the experience would be a positive one before I did my breathing exercises which usually help me to progressively relax.
As I felt my body getting heavier I resumed normal breathing and didn't even focus on it. I started to focus on an imagined version of the lamp in my room. I could almost see it after a while. The intrusive thoughts came many times and every time I saw that I got 'lost', I'd bring my focus back to the imagined object. Eventually, the intrusive thoughts were becoming more vivid, more life-like. I could see strange faces, places and even weird owl-faced humanoids looking at me at one point. This hypnagogic imagery captivated me and I forgot all about the imagined object. Before I pushed it all away, I remember being in a strange state for a few seconds where I saw objects that would have been familiar and made sense in the normal state of consciousness but, at that time, they didn't. I was 'seeing' them from a different perspective. On the other hand, that could have been some sort of lapse in logic which could have resulted from my disassociation efforts. It really is hard to describe but what I do know is that once I phased away from that perception, I sort of looked at those objects again and I thought "oh...so that is what they are" and it turned out to be furniture in a strange room.
Suddenly darkness came and I could feel my physical body laying in bed and yet I was somewhat removed from it. I heard rumbling noises and experienced strong vibrations. They felt like mobile phone vibrations or as though electricity was flowing through the body and the voltage was gradually getting higher and higher to the point where it felt like something drilling into my spine. This almost hurt but I just let it happen. The vibrational state got so strong that I perceived my 'subtle self' becoming detached from a 'dead physical weight' as though all that vibrating kerfuffle had caused them to desynchronise. It was like I was shifting away from the body axis sideways on a pivotal point and when it felt like I had reached a 45° angle, I made a conscious effort to roll over and out.
Once I was out I was partially blind. I had a kaleidoscopic or fragmented vision of being in my dark bedroom and saw the light coming from the hallway. The bedroom door was ajar as I had left it before going to bed. I went to the hallway and mentally demanded that my vision be improved. It only improved slightly and the meta-reality that appeared to surround me shimmered as though I was seeing it through hot air. I looked at the mirror and it was absolutely non-reflective. I decided to run towards it and plunge into the darkness in order to go somewhere else. I remember feeling as though I had legs and feet stomping on a hard floor before reaching the mirror. Soon, I was shifting at high speed through the dark void. I was happy with the speed and the fact that I was actually going somewhere. But then I remembered that I hadn't actually wished to go anywhere. This annoyed me while I was gliding through that darkness. I started to think of several people I could visit but couldn't make up my mind. This indecision caused me to reflect on many thoughts. I thought of many friends I could visit and started to get visual glimpses of them looking at me with smiling faces and telling me that I could do it without actually saying it.
Eventually I saw light ahead and ended up in a random place. The room was large and I felt like I was in a museum at night. Light was coming from somewhere but I couldn't quite make out where from. Vision was pristine and objects and structures around me were highly defined and yet I couldn't identify any. I came out of that room and found myself at the top of a huge stairwell. I looked down and the height was unbelievable. The size of the overly wide steps made me feel miniscule and, as I began to descend, it felt like the number of steps was infinite and I would never reach the source of light that I could clearly see coming from below. I went round the well as I went downwards in an apparent spiral making me chase the light for ages. I don't know why I couldn't go any faster or just be there. Finally, at ground level, I came to an opening where I found a beach under a clear night sky. The sea was reflecting some kind of silver light but there was no moon and the stars seemed too far away. The sand had patches of grass and I could see the dark silhouettes of what looked like palm trees in the background. As I looked away from the beach and the sea, a massive pyramid cropped into view.
I wished to be inside the pyramid and teleported to what looked like a cross between the inside of a lighthouse and a workshop. There was a man there who wore glasses and a white tunic and he was fiddling with machinery on a table. He didn't notice me and I approached him to take a closer look at what he was doing. He suddenly raised what looked like prisms in his hands and he looked at them as though he was pleased and in awe of them at the same time. He never acknowledged my presence. I thought he looked like Frank Kepple, a man who is well known in the "astral projection" communities online for having simplified Robert Monroe's focus model of reality. I wondered if it was him. I then found myself somewhere else which looked like a temple and I met other characters. This is where it gets vague. I know that a lot more happened but by that time the experience turned into a stubborn dream hell-bent on pushing me towards unconsciousness. The memory of its details escape me now.
It's funny how I remember the stuff that happened before so well because it is as though my long-term memory is better than my short-term memory when OOBEs turn into dreams. I woke up feeling cold and thought about the experience for a while before going back to sleep. This is a possible random visit to the Astral Pulse Island which is why I also posted the story in the link below in a slightly different manner:
http://astralviewers.com/obeap-experiences/visit-astral-pulse-island-our-meeting-point/15/
Summerlander, Hallo !
Yeah, no problem and I hope you like it here at AP and stay here a long time.
The API experiment has alternating periods of interest/activity and no activity. Unfortunately it is currently a period of little interest/activity. In fact you are probably the only person to have visited API in any way (OBE/AP, phase, remote view, etc) in nearly half a year. Maybe your recent success will inspire others to try. Anyway I am still keen to do it and will post any experiences IF I am able to get there.
Regards 8-)
Grey
I hope so. I think more people should be aiming to project there. 8-)
