Progress update- Some Success (Guide), Thanks!

[gwciv]

Small success but good success! I actually got out for a moment last night. It was spot on clear too. I think  it would have lasted longer but I was startled by someone that was sitting in the lobby outside my room... which shouldn't have been.

The lobby was in my house and it's not public. The person was looking at me, unsmiling, but not menacingly in any way. I can also honestly say that I've never seen him before, at least not as far as I remember. He had long, very curly hair and a beard/goatee. He has dark eyes and was also about 7 to 10 years younger than me.

Upon seeing him I got startled and found myself back in my body. I tried to move back out and tried to send him messages with which he seemed to respond, very patiently.

Anyway, it's only a baby step, but I'm really excited by this. I meant the holidays to be a time to really focus on this because I wouldn't have many distractions at night (girlfriend is on a separate vacation) and could put some time in to it.

I also found a technique that seems to resonate with me. The log rolling method that Monroe employed when he wasn't phasing. I never could pull it off before because I couldn't imagine myself all the way around but last night it worked more than once.

The first time I was experiencing early vibrations and paralyzation with a serious non-moving pattern in my eye. The second time I got the above scenario.

The main thing I've learned and that everyone has instructed is that the level of relaxation is the most important part before trying any technique. This has been the challenge for me because I have a VERY hard time relaxing on my own and up until two or three months ago had to use Tylenol PM to sleep.

Learning these techniques along with some Ayurvedic herbs have really helped though. There herbs don't invoke sleep, they just help with tension.

Anyway, thanks to everyone that has offered some help on this site, your words have all meant a lot! Special thanks to TVOS who'd mentioned that you really have to train for this like the Olympics. I hadn't realized how far you needed to go until I read that.

If you have any feedback, please bring it on!

I'm keeping the earlier part of this post below, just in case it doesn't make sense later without it.

I was advised to try out phasing when I posted last. While my results haven't been the holy grail of complete OBE I have achieved some things that seem to go along with some of the results I've read that I should be seeing.

I thought I'd post and see if I could get some constructive feedback if anyone has a moment.

Here's how things are currently going:

- Systematically relaxing every body part
- Focusing on the blackness
- Enjoy the colors for a while
- Randomly experience events as they appear (images, partial snippets of strange scenarios I'm not familiar with, images of people I don't know)
- Occasionally the tingles will start but don't tend to last very long

I also realized that a very horrific memory of mine is related to all of this.

When I was in the Army, there was a night that I was out in the field on Robin Sage, a training expedition for Special Forces. I had finished my shift for guard duty and had gotten in to a remote tent away from our camp that I was sharing with another soldier. Normally we slept alone in our own tent but we were expecting some mock raids that night.

I remember falling asleep with the feeling of my feet being extremely cold but unable to do anything about it. It was around 20 degrees outside and raining, really very miserable. As I started to fall asleep it felt like the cold was climbing up my body, I was exhausted though and I had nothing warmer to make it go away.

I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up I was shivering completely and shaking all over with no ability to move almost at all. I desperately tried to move my mouth and open my eyes but I wasn't having much luck. After a few minutes I was able to get 'help' out of my mouth and then a few more times but only as a whisper.

Finally my tent mate woke up and went for help. This one very large soldier came in and grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder while still inside my sleeping bag and sat me down by a very small fire. Humorously enough, my sleeping bag was somehow turned around where the bottom part was over my head leaving no hole for me to breath out of. Smoke rises, as you well know, and shot straight up my sleeping bag. They thought I was convulsing, but I couldn't breathe!

Anyway, I've actually experienced that a few times since then. When vibrations and sleep paralysis start, I really panic because I feel like I'm going to be trapped in the cold dark with no one to hear me.

However, the night before last when they occurred I heard a voice in my head telling me to relax and to go with it. The tremors went on for a while and then unfortunately faded.

Anyway, here's my progress.

Have a wonderful Christmas!!!

Belief systems are so important to a positive experience when projecting/phasing. Someone gave me very good advice recently about overhauling my beliefs system and dealing with all the "skeletons/monsters under my bed".

It sounds like you have anchored this terrible experience with being out-of-body. I had a few similar experiences and it was only when I sat down and objectively analysed all my beliefs, fears and values relating to anything negative in the supernatural/spiritual etc that I finally dealt with and resolved my concerns. Once I had faced my fear, dealt with all the related emotions, rationalised it's source and consciously resolved to no longer be afraid of it, I did not have any further problems. It really was this easy.

I spent some time going over all the things I believed to be true, all the fears I have had (as a child and as an adult) and any concepts I had read/learned about since starting my spiritual experience and dealt with them all one by one.

I have learnt that 'thought equals action' in the non physical world. Whatever you strongly believe in (be it pink elephants or terrible nightmares) will become 'real' to you so it's much better to sort it out when relaxed, in the physical and light of day with all your mental faculties than try to do it when projecting. That terrible experience of yours and the emotions it raises in you only has to power to upset you if you believe it has. It's a catch22. It's your belief in how terrible that experience was that feeds it. Fear it more and it only grows... Deal with it once and for all and it loses it's power over you.

I'm not callously saying to 'get over it'. I'm suggesting to pick a time to relive that experience, really experience and validate all the emotions it raises then decide how you will deal with it from now on if it ever rears it's ugly head again (whether in physical or non-physical).

Instead of being passively vulnerable and letting it affect you again,you are sort of programming your mind to run a 'script' in how you wish to deal with it. It's like an analogy of knowing you have a virus in your computer that randomly executes but instead of letting it run you and your emotions whenever it wants to, you have a special antivirus program designed to terminate the offending program whenever it runs leaving you to 'observe' the action without being involved in it.

That voice you heard sounds like your conscious is ready to deal with this issue!

PS: People must be sick of my recommending this philosophy by Benthino Massaro, but it really can help one to build the tools required to control emotions instead of letting them run you.

Congrats on getting out. I've had a few nasty experiences myself. Here's some tips:

1. Kung Fu does not work on Demons, it just makes them laugh. (Negative Entities,etc.)
2. Calling on your childhood belief system's God may help (if applicable).
- For example thinking "By the power of Jesus I am surrounded in white light and cannot be harmed"

I believe this works by raising your vibrational level? Love or something. I don't know. Crappy post I know, but it's all I got.

I'm sure someone could make Kung Fu work.  I've tried it and yea it doesn't work for me either.  Usually I'll just run towards whatever it is or send light at it and it will either change to something positive or disappear.
