Anyone ever try this...?

[TheBandyTract]

This is from Adventures Beyond the Body by William Buhlman.. I've only had one OBE and I'm sure I'll have lots more, but it might be a while. I'd love to hear from anyone who has done this technique, as it is my main reason for pursuing OBE's...

------------
The following technique is highly recommended for anyone seeking accelerated spiritual development,
knowledge, and answers .

ADVANCED SPIRITUAL TECHNIQUE
Begin by doing your favorite out-of-body technique. Immediately after separation from your physical
body, firmly request clarity, "Clarity now!" When you are fully aware and centered within your
nonphysical body, ask to experience your soul (higher self). Make this request a firm verbal demand for
immediate action. "I experience my soul (higher self) now!"

Instantly, you will be propelled within yourself at tremendous speed. The sensation is one of extreme
inner movement, like being drawn into a powerful vacuum deep within yourself. Endless layers of light
and color flash by your awareness as you're pulled deeper and deeper within. (Some people report a
sensation of shooting upward into space.) After several intense seconds, this motion will come to an
abrupt halt.

Be prepared. When first experienced, this rapid inner motion of our awareness can be startling; hold on,
have faith, and remain as calm as possible. I believe the experience of inner or upward motion is the
transfer of our awareness from our relatively dense nonphysical body to the higher-frequency existence of
pure consciousness (soul).

The result of this technique is beyond all expectations. You will experience and know your true self,
independent of all form and substance. Limits melt away as an incredible spiritual dimension of pure light
and knowledge opens within you.

Experiencing your higher self (soul) is the very heart of spiritual development; now you have a
tremendous opportunity to discover the answers to the oldest mysteries of your existence. You can receive
an answer or solution to any physical challenge or limitation you may currently experience, Within this
state of awareness, miracles can be achieved. Your ability to comprehend and influence the denser levels
of the universe is magnified beyond all human comprehension.

Don't underestimate the power of this technique; the conscious experience of being your true self is an
awakening that will change your life. While in this state of consciousness, your ability to obtain answers
is unlimited; you experience your spiritual essence beyond all physical concepts of time, space, and form.
You finally know the greatest mystery of your existence—what you truly are.

I haven't done it personally, but I was just thinking about the "technique".
Can you really call *THAT* a technique?

Project... then yell "I experience my soul (higher self) now!"?
That's not much of a technique.  LoL

Hey, whatever works! 

[Xanth]

Robert Munroe did something very similar.
For years he always projected outwards, but whenever he came back he always felt like he was missing part of the question.
So after years of projecting outwards, he finally decided to project inwards and see what was "under the hood", sort to speak.
This is when he discovered his (I don't remember the exact term he used to describe it) "council" or "board of directors"?

Anyways, this is where he learned a lot about himself and his many previous lives.

buhlman's other book "secret of the soul" includes many people's description of the experience, but they are mostly the same: zooming inward/upward, blur of colors, bliss, and beyond that.. indescribable.

im brand new to this board, but hopefully there are people here who can project "at will" and can try it out and report back here.

[kurtykurt42]

I'd sure like to know how many people here can project "at will".

Yeah, I'm pretty sure NOBODY on this board can project at will... actually, I bet there's only a small handful of people in the world who can probably do it whenever they want.

[kurtykurt42]

That's a pretty safe bet... It sure isn't easy.

[TheBandyTract]

i forget his name.. but the author of My Big Toe said Robert Munroe taught him and several others how to project at will. but forget i said "at will". how bout just "often"?  there.

[kurtykurt42]

I project several times a week and I have been using a technique similar to the one that you described to communicate with my Subconscious / higher self.

[justin35ll]

If I can remember to do this next time I'm out I def will try it out.

...so many things to do and so little projections haha and I usually waste them by just walking around my house til it's over

[TheBandyTract]

bump..?

[RisingSon]

OK, I'll bite.  Never tried this, successfully anyway.  I did have a guide once who took me to an immeasurably immense gray dome that was like a mountain out of some fairy tale. After showing me various levels of it, it told me "this is where you are going after you die."

BTW, Monroe met his EXCOM (executive committee) when he checked under the hood - essentially a collective of his incarnations through time. They said he was "the best chance" so far for them - he might have what it takes to give them the necessary "escape velocity" to leave the human realm forever.  Dunno if he made it though!

Projecting at will would be a great accomplishment.  I'd settle for a few times a week. I can get into a trance almost at will provided I'm not preoccupied or uncomfortable.  Beyond that...

I will try it tomorrow morning.  I've got a projection date with myself tomorrow. 

When you say project at will do you mean just sit down and go?  Because when I make an attempt I usually get out, provided I've prepared the proper conditions.  I can tell when it will work an when it won't.  But when I lay down to do it (when my mind is right) I do. 

But, if you mean just sit and go then I understand.

I do have a customer that can.  He can project within a minute. Literally.  I've watched him do it in the store.  Unless he's a good remote viewer or psychic.  He's a hypnotherapist and can put himself in trance in seconds, literally.  He put me in trance once in a couple minutes to show off his skill.  He's really very good.  Anyway, I asked him about OBEs and if he could help me achieve one through hypnosis and he told me it takes more than just hypnotism, but he could do it in seconds.  I said "yea right" and he said, "Ok, let's do an experiment. Is there a (psychic) reader in the back doing a reading right now?" I said "yea".  He said "Ok, I will leave my body and go look at the tarot spread and tell you one of the cards, where it is in the spread and what kind of spread it is".  I was still very skeptical but I said ok. 

He sat down in a chair, closed his eyes and just sat there.  About 1 minute later he grunted and mumbled something like just a second and 30 seconds later her opened his eyes and stood up.  He said that the spread was a celtic cross, and the card on the bottom right (not part of the cross but on the right side where there are four cards laid in a vertical line) was the tower card.  When the reading was over a few minutes later we asked the reader and the querent what the card was and sure enough it was the tower. 

Who knows what really happened.  I think he's a mentalist as well as a hypnotherapist.  But he swore to me that it was legit, and he's a good friend of mine, I trust him.
