Strobe Effect

[Tia]

I used to get the occasional strobe when I first started doing NEW.  Like one or two camera flashes that make you mentally blink.  Dont know that this sort of thing is controllable?

Anyone ever experienced the strobe affect robert bruce talks about in his book, astral dynamics?

This thing has happened to me many times over my life and was wondering how you can induce these things. For me it feels more like a super electrical charge going off in my head and I see somewhat of a lightning bolt type effect at the same time.

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone has an idea on how to control these strobes.

I used to get them quite often back when I first began to meditate.
Since then (they stopped about 8+ years ago), they occur once every several months now... perhaps once a year if that.

Nobody knows what they are... on the advice of the folks I spoke with at the time, I ignored them mostly.  Try doing what you feel is best... focus on them for a bit, see if anything happens... if nothing happens just ignore them.  But try for yourself.

Strobing is when energy builds in the crown and pulses down into the brow.

These strobes can not be controlled. They come, if one is disturbed (by noises, itching,...) during a deep relaxation. Soe kinds of strobes come without any disturbing. Some kinds come even in certain periodes. I experienced till now 6 distinguishable different kinds of strobes. Some are common and others are rare.

(1.2.5.3.4) Faster till extreme by separation and falling back caused experiences The here listed experiences are mostly caused by falling back of the astral body in the physical body. Often these experiences are triggered by interruption or disruption of relaxation states and out of body experience attempts. Probably some of them have (at least at a part of their occurences) also other causes and triggers. This can be concluded, because some of the here listed experiences occur without disruption of the relaxation states and at regular intervals. All here described experiences are accompanied by a little till strong fright and a following pleasant, slowly decaying, in the whole body occuring sensation. These experiences can be accompanied by different noises. The kind of these noises can vary. Deviations from the here described noises are possible. The here mentioned experiences can partly occur during the returning after an out of body experience. Contrary to some rumors, one can not use these experiences as an aid to exit. The reason is, that the occurrence of these experiences is a sign, that the astral body already has fallen back into the physical body. The relaxation will be strongly reduced by these experiences and one must virtually restart the relaxation. All here mentioned experiences occur almost only during deep to very deep relaxation states. The possibility of intentional experiencing is limited. The best way to trigger such experiences is sudden interrupting of the relaxation by noises, touches (from other people,...) and other unexpected disruptions. Only some of these experiences can be experienced by intentional triggering. An "option", to experience specific or choosed experiences of this group, does not exist.

(1.2.5.3.4.1) Experiences, which occur most once or a few times at irregular intervals: The here listed experiences occur during a single relaxation state mostly once and only rarely several times. These experiences can sometimes also be experienced intentionally.

(1.2.5.3.4.1.1) Sometimes one sees during the relaxation a sudden bright flashing on the entire field of view. The whole field of view gets for a split second a uniform spreaded, bright color. This bright color has often horizontal lines. These parallel lines are often jagged. It looks like a faulty television channel. Sometimes this experience is accompanied by a often very loud noise (bang,...). Very often occurs a simultaneous and often very intensive pulse (explosion from inside), which lets the body twitch. This experience is very often triggered by disturbing noises. Rarely are own movements the trigger. The seeing of the lines is an indication of the possible existence of the super space 3 (frequency, see: "1.1.1.5" and sub-points).

(1.2.5.3.4.1.2) Extremely strange sensation which can shoot suddenly through the whole body. It is comparable with a kind of pressure or explosion from inside. This experience is sometimes accompanied by tingling. It is often triggered by disturbing noises. It is rarely also triggered by sudden itching.

(1.2.5.3.4.1.3) Very sudden sensation of (very) short falling. This sensation is mostly accompanied by a impulse (explosion from inside) and a fright. The impulse and the fright forces often to a sudden movement of the limbs (wince). This experience occurs mostly shortly after the beginning of the dreaming phase. It can also occur at any other time during a dream-out of body experience-combination. In such cases one gets roused by this experience. Mostly is this experience part of (the end of) these dreams. Example: One falls in the dream and the experience occurs. But also other dream scenes can trigger this experience. Example: One gets in the dream stung by a wasp and the experience occurs. The experience can also occur during dreamless sleeping phases and during deep relaxation states.

(1.2.5.3.4.2) Rare experiences, which often occur several times in a row: Here are rare experiences mentioned, which occur usually several times during a single relaxation state. These experiences can only hardly be experienced intentionally.

(1.2.5.3.4.2.1) Light sensation (explosion from inside), which shoots trough the body. This experience occurs at regular intervals (some minutes) and gets each time much stronger. Example: A weak experience will be followed by a medium experience and then followed by a strong experience. 

(1.2.5.3.4.2.2) Very rarely one experiences a sensation, as if one would zoom with the eyes. This experience occurs at irregular intervals (some minutes or more). The intensity is at every occurrence different. Example: A strong experience can be followed by a medium experience and then be followed by a very strong experience. It is accompanied by a strange sensation in the whole body, which can be described as an kind of slow explosion from inside.

(1.2.5.3.4.2.3) Quite loud creaking and humming noise, which is accompanied by vibrations and explosions from inside. This experience has intenser pleasant after-effects and occurs at irregular intervals. Sometimes occur also other experiences of the group "1.2.5.3.4" between the intervals. A short strange beeping occured also as noise during such an experience.
