Astral Beings?

[Tayesin]

Hi Stout,
Your experiences sound like you have a natural ability to be aware of your journeys. You will find many great methods for learning to control the ins and outs of journeying in these forums. And there are links to other sites that are designed for people such as your self who want to pursue the ability. So there is much help to be found here.

There are many beings choosing to work what can be called the dark side, and they will try at various moments to sway you from your path, using fear tactics and other more subtle means. That is normal. Also there are many others working the light side who will gladly help.

LOL at the thinking about it too much, you sound just like I was.  Getting confused with complexities when it really is meant to be more simple. And that is very normal too, we all do it to some extent.

For the process of beginning to learn the ropes, it is a good idea to use protection until you are able to journey freely and become empowered enough to no longer need to do it.  One simple way is to imagine a shield around you of whatever your favourite colour is, and just add more energy to it each time you prepare yourself for meditation and journeys.

The gold being doesn't surprise me, and I think it significant that you met one.  Recently I had two ladies one 30 and the other 60, who have always seen energy/auras, tell me that during Soul journeys they have seen the colour of my Soul and it is a gold colour.  This represents a Soul group, as do all the colours and also denotes the Souls evolution here.  

I strongly feel that the being you saw is your Guide/higher-self and is ready to begin work with you. So he/she will be more in contact with you as you practice different methods.  You only need to think what it is you want to say and they will 'hear' you.

As for a fight in the astral, yes I have had one.  Although I am still not happy about it!  It worked out perfectly but I am still in judgement over the outcome. LOL, we get stuck sometimes.

As for a war in the astral, there is a 'war' going on in all the levels of existence, the same ancient war of 'good' versus 'evil'.  I don't like those two words, they are way too judgemental.

At first glance it looks like you are doing well.  Try different methods if you wish, as that way you will find something that works very well for you.  If I can make a suggestion, try to keep it simple and not get caught up in belief systems, as many of them are unnecessarily complicated, which can be confusing.  So just finding what works for you to go and meet your Guide would be the first step.

I hope this was some help.

Love always.

One of the major experiences I had as a child was while falling asleep, an Astral Creature trying to scare me said "LETS CUT OFF HIS HEAD!" in a very creepy and unnerving voice. Understand I was 5 at the time. A golden being....hm...

Could it possibly be your spirit guide? Mine came to me in my dreams as a glowing hot pink humanoid. I finally became Lucid enough to speak with this creature, and found it to be my ally.

Perhaps you should AP and form a strong intent to speak again with this person/entity. Usually, if someone can hear you, they will come.

Thanx. I consider myself very spiritual but not a bit religious. I always try to check my belief systems and preconceived notions of reality. After reading some of the other posts, I realize most of my experience is in what you guys call RTZ. This is where I saw the golden being, who, I should add, I was not afraid of(overwhelmed). I also have experienced short moments of multi level projection. I would like to call this being back to me, but I have problems vocusing and it's been a while since I saw it. It's nice to know that my interpretations of the experience are shared and to here modern terms for things I've arrived at through trial and era, and sometimes have trouble describing. Any help in getting further away from my physical shell? I also agree that there is constant "war" between energies in all aspects of life. I don't look at the astral as seperate. I always say we should look at projection as a change of perspective not an OBE(though I'm sure it's both). It's becoming clear that there aren't many answers, just strong affirmations of what you already know, but I still want help. Thank you again and I hope people continue to answer.
........also, I read about moving through objects in posts here and it's been  my experience that whether something is solid or not is all subjective to you, not unlike all other aspects of life. It's all subjective when you add personal experience and thought (real with a part off us thrown in).  I have left my body and fallen to the floor like dead weight as well as I have left and felt like a wisp off air.

There are still another kind of beings that you might encounter out there in the astral world and that is a deceased person, though usually their place is somewhere else I understand. But it happened to me and I knew the person was deceased since it was a family member. Though the person did not seem to see me, maybe because I did not focuse on her.

As to scary things, don't worry, in the astral world you should be able to change your appearence, say you might want to look like the HULK if someone is trying to scare you. But LOVE usually does a better effect, it is the best defense against the dark beings.

I use to be able to pass thru windows in dreams when I was a kid. But I have lost this ability, even in lucid dreams I have been unable to pass thru things that are solid in the physical world.

I feel I have been projecting since early youth, visiting distant places possibly even planets, enough times to describe some of those places like it was yesterday. I originally became aware that I was projecting at 16, due to what I fealt was an attack  on my being, perpetrated by darker than black shadow figgures. After that I began a gradual progression into the realm of projection. In just over ten years, I've only gotten out of the room my body was in a couple of times, but I have seen something other than shadow figgures. I  also saw a golden luminescent figgure of a man with  brilliantly colored fractals of light shooting in every direction within its shell. I was not frightened by it, but when it spoke to me ( it said hey, then seemed to wait for a response) I thought too much about how to comunicate and overwhelmed myself back into my body. I am of course making this short, this being my first post I have many questions and experiences to share. I project involuntarily becoming conscious
of it, and with some small level of success inducing it, but for so long and sometimes still it is like moving through mud, literally and figuratively. Has anyone experienced either type of being, another person, a fight on the astral plane? I often sway between regular weekly occurences and a month or two of nothing. Any help on increasing my frequency? I have had a few rare lucid dreams, black dog preminitions, and maybe 2 RV experiences. I do know the difference, but I've had dreams become lucid and then begin to fade away into projection as that seems to be where I'm geared at being. Any advice would be apprecited. Oh, and what about astral war and positive vs negative. Sometimes I feel like energies are trying to romance or frighten me.
