Astarl vision

[majour ka]

Hi, some times before I fall asleep I have a bit of a projection, but often when I travel like that i cant see very well or only in a few colours and often ill be moving upside down, its like theres very little control.  Why cant I see, is it cos its too casual and I havent raised my energies enough kind of thing? regards Marcus.

I don't have an answer to why but there is a strategy: When you can't see well enough say out loud "I want to see".  I tried it, even though I thought it would sound stupid, and it worked.

ALL my OBEs start off blind, so at first I suffered the same kind of problem as you.. I figured out a few things that help though:
1) Commanding your vision to come back usually does work, although reliance on it can cause it to become less reliable
2) Walking through a wall seems to clear vision quite well,
3) as does teleporting.
4) If you project with something covering your eyes (like a sleep mask) you'll probably find you're still wearing it in the astral, and you can just simply take it off while out. If you don't have a sleep mask you might consider getting one so you can do this...
5) Flying very fast in a random direction
6) Waiting for it patiently in one place (ie. don't move until it comes back).
7) Fly a lap around your house and it'll probably come back..

Hope some of this helps you.

Hi Marcus

You are not alone!  I frequently can't see a darned thing.  Even now, after 3 years of having OBEs.  I've learned over the time that not worrying about it seems to help, both with vision and balance.

I have spent a lot of my OBEs astral mind sensing, rather than seeing.  It's seems a natural and normal talent when I'm out of body, but I've no idea how I do it!

See here for the description of Astral Mind Sensing

I tend to think and imagine myself the right way up and then start moving away from the physical.  The further away I go, the better it gets.  I've also found that going through walls/windows etc., can trigger vision (but you might find yourself somewhere totally different to where you expected to be).

Hope this is helpful!  Good luck. :sunny:

PS  I've also had to resign myself to spending quite a few of my OBEs totally without sight - if you do this, your hearing seems to come to life and you can have just as much of an experience with sound rather than vision.

2) Walking through a wall seems to clear vision quite well,

I did it this morning (not knowing why, just instinct) and it worked!  Was I surprised!     Wild!
