An Earth-like environment away from Earth?

[Venus_Goddess_of_Love]

Hi all

I'm 90% sure this was an OBE, and am still putting the pieces together...

This morning, I woke up to an alarm, closed my eyes again for a few minutes and instantly I was semi-lucid in a place that looks like a typical Western city, and I was instantly aware:

- that I was out of my body, in a place 'far away' from Earth and very keen to experience moving in my astral body
- that I was NOT totally lucid (I wished I had more clarity), but then again, I was also convinced that this is just the level lucidity you would get in this place.  It's the energy of the place. And the people I saw there looked kinda bored.  I even sensed that they envied us Earthlings just a little bit...
- that I was a visitor/tourist, and being shown around a place of worship (Church) with other 'tourists'
- that the other tourists also APed like me, and that I should expect them to (and actually wanted to see them) dissolve in front of my eyes when they wake up in their physical bodies. A bit like what happens in Matrix.

There were around 3 of us who I 'knew' also had left their physical bodies 'so far away on Earth'.  There was a local priest whose face I couldn't see but was showing us around, and a keeper/receptionist lady who looked really bored.  (I knew that no one worked in this place, as there's no such thing as a paid job.  People worked because they had nothing else to do.) 

The church was deserted.  We walked up a narrow carpeted staircase.  On the way were various small sculptures behind glass.  Our host asked us to identify them.  He explained that this is more than a church, that Earth's greatest men and women are celebrated here.  He mentioned the Apostle (?) amongst others, then I saw a jewelled sculpture and shouted out 'that's Ghandi!', to which the priest seemed pleased because I was right... We arrived at a large spacious room full of colourful drapes and carpet at which point the priest gave me his 'business card' so that I know this is not a 'dream', it's real and serious.  It probably was the end of the tour.  I said to the others that I would repeat the number over and over so that I'd remember when I come back to my body and know this was for real!  The receptionist overheard us and said something like "the EC is very real".  That's what they call this place, the EC. I looked at the card again and it was not a business card anymore, but a small promotional material, but it had the same number on it.  I read the number out aloud so that it will register... then felt my physical body vibrate gently and opened my eyes instantly (it wasn't like waking up from sleep). 

The first thing I did was ring the number.  Incorrect number it said.  I tried another combination.  Again incorrect number.  (I knew I wasn't ringing EC, but either a branch, or someone who probably knows about this place...)

I've been intrigued all day long.  First time I brought a London number from an OBE! LOL

What's your view?  Have you been to this place before?  Any insight?

Thanks!

If this is an AP, it's a very fascinating one...

I hope to go to this place someday in my APs.

Sounds like a classic Belief System Territory (BST).
There are probably more variations of BSTs in the astral realm than anybody realizes. No doubt many people believe that they are out of body on physical earth when they are actually visiting some sort of BST.

Thanx for posting

Wow, thanks Grey.  Now that you said it, yes it must be a BST.  Is the energy quite low in there?

Oh, and one more thing... I noticed that I was wearing a jacket I had on during the day (not my PJs) which I thought was weird.  Also sensed that most people go there in their sleep, but don't realise it...

[Venus_Goddess_of_Love]

You're right Explorer.  My projections are hard to come by, but when they do they're pretty amazing.

hi guys, do you believe in synchronicity? 

Since posting this OBE, I went to Spain over the Christmas period.  I was exploring a beautiful city when I came across a very impressive old building.  I wanted to see the entrance to find out what it was, so I walked round the building, holding my breath.. and on the front it said Church of San Martin and the Apostles.  My eyes were fixed on the Apostles bit.  Made me think - is someone trying to tell me something?  Or am I just being silly?  Later, I found out there's a museum next door to the church.  It has the most beautiful entrance I've ever seen with large alabaster sculptures of men.  The house was owned by a Marquee, and built in the 15thc.  As I went up the stairs looking at very sumptious surroundings and beautiful pieces of art, I remembered my OBE, when I was doing something similar. 

Then, on my way back home, some guy came and sat opposite me on the train.  He was reading a book and I didn't give him much attention - until he held the book up and I was able to read the title.  It said "Ghandi" and something about his life and history.

OK, now you tell me.  Have I gone completely mad or is somebody sending me a message?

Very good account, thanks.

Great concept, astral business cards, logical that they would become a communication multimedia.

And yeah, sounds like a bit of prescience there with your trip to Spain after the fact. Inspiring!

Is there a way to astral travel to a made up place? A dream is alot different from a first person experience such as AP. So could you think about such a place before projecting and be there?
