It is a pretty good idea, but something like this is hard to set up. Reasons being that. 1. Everyone playing would have to be lucky enough to get out of their bodies. 2. Something of this magnitude would take a while to become stable in the astral, creating thought forms takes a while and the more complex takes even longer.
If you could set up a area and have a lot of people concentrate on that image, it might be able to work, I would help, but I haven't been able to project yet.
Though if you could find a place that already exists like this on the astral, it would be even better, I am sure that there would be some people who have already thought of something like this so much that it has become real in the astral already.
Indeed, you make some very good points ;)
I guess I'm hoping that sometime there will be one universal meeting place for all conscious astral travellers, kinda like Tokyo but in the astral world :P
You could go to the 'ticket booth' and check in, and search the computer to see if any of your friends have checked in recently and ask it their location ;)
This new 'Life Line' technique sounds very promising, I had gotten vibrations almost instantly when i tried it last night, but didnt get very far due to distractions in the house and the fact that i was not in the best mood for AP.
Thanks for the comments!

Great idea!
This could be stable in the astral if we meditate on it in a deep trance like state for a long time.
I have encountered people I know who were astral projecting at the same time that I was. I think your idea has possibilities.
Yeah it could become stable, but everyone would have to meditate on the same thing. so getting a picture like AP Island has... or a few of different parts would be better.
having a few people setting it up would be a good idea, you could all meditate together on the same things to make it strong enough to see in the astral.

Excelent. We might be able to make this work after all. I like the idea of a something that tells us who is in the area and what not.
Maybe we could use some landscapes for certain areas. It would be cool to have our own little 'world' to do these things. We might even be able to set up a kind of history to the place as well. And with the creation of this place, it makes me wonder if some astral beings will eventually take up residence there. If that were to happen then the place would grow and change without us even being there, now that would be cool.
I think we might be able to scrounge around for some cool landscape images and it would be easy to think of layouts for towns and things. But what we would need most would be a kind of starting point a sort of huge castle, I am thinking of something like Castle Gondor from the Lord of the Rings. That place just screams to me that it needs to be used.
This probably won't end up getting done, but figured i'd throw this out there anyways. What if instead of creating the local you use a currently existing physical local? There are lots of castles and such, then you could just add whatever you wanted, might be slightly easier than creating an entire landscape from scratch.

-Prick your finger it is done.
Well I could setup a subdomain on my website for this project if many people are interested....
I was thinking something similar to you Van-Stolin, a centralized 'meeting place' or stronghold where we could relax, plan and discuss things, etc...
And then I though of this, how about if we had something like... lemme try to explain this.
A central floating-island (think Final Fantasy) with this castle or whatever on it. Then surrounding the castle floating much higher would be seperate floating islands with different themes and landscapes.
(BTW, i'm not too bad with graphics, and I think I'd be able to pull off making a realistic looking image of a world like this by putting together various images and whatnot [:D])
-------------------------
I am assuming something like this may take a while to stabelize in the Astral, but personally I dont belive in limits, I believe that anything is possible, and that if we focus and try hard enough to gather lots of 'thought energy' to form a place like this, it is very possible. :)
Personally, I think I need a bit more practice in AP and need to understand 'life energy' and how to harness and channel it throughout the body and later through space and time, before I undertake a project like this.
Honestly, I dont think i've ever consciously AP'd, been very close but not quite out. So first i'd like to get out of body and get used to the feeling ;)
--------------------------
Well, looking forward to any comments from you guys whether you think its a good idea / would it work / would you help / etc...
Thanks!

The floating Island reminds me of Angel Island from the Sonic series. If it looked like that it might be cool, that island was very big and had waterfalls cascading off the sides.
Depending on the amount of people we get on this, these places could be stable in the astral in a matter of weeks, if it were just the amount that have posted so far then it might take a few months instead.
The next thing we would need to do would be to establish rules. Man the more I think about this, the cooler it gets, it would be like Final Fantasy XI online, but acctually being in the game.
Sounds like a great idea!! It could work in the long run
if effort is put into creating it :)
Don't forget to create some cow eating demons there, or then just ask some to come there to increase the tension [:D]
Another thing could be to put on the website the exact time everyday/week when to be there, might not work everytime but
sometime it should work perfectly well :)
It would be like .hack. We might find each other or not, but eh you can still have fun anyway. The best thing is that since it would be a fully functioning world on its own, the game would never end, new places would be made to be explored and everyday would be different. Another cool thing would be to have seasons, so say if we went there in the spring we would have the plains full of flowers and animals, but in the winter it will be snowing and not many animals would be around, but more monsters.
This idea is possible of course it will take some time undeniably but i have astralled with people online before with similari nterests such as ours. A friend of mine in fact created this pagoda like domain and the imagery surrounding it was absolutely stunning. Even the inside was very intricate and detailed. I explained to him what I had seen and it was indeed correct. There was more than just myself there as well and for numerous people to be successful in reaching this oen destination was pretty inspiring! so keep it up guys ;)
Hey I could get a domain up, just gimme the picture and some one could make directions. I'll meditate on this and talk to m y guide about this. We should establish a chat room or something to plan this and meet on a weekley basis to be sucessfull. We could do iot on MsN or AIM.
It's starting to sound like this is getitng a little to complex for only a few people to stablise.
It might be best to set a simple area first, then add on as it becomes more and more stable.

Well, I was reading some posts in the Astral Pulse Island forum, and I got a good (could be :P) idea!
If we could all get together sometime, we could play a fun game similar to Dungeons & Dragons.
One person could be the "Dungeon Master" who creates an astral world for us with obstacles to overcome \ stuff to find \ monsters to defeat \ etc...
Then the rest of us would go around trying to get to *some finish point* and conquer obstacles in our path (as a team).
Damn LOL i'm wishing I get to try something like this some day, cause it sure sounds like fun to me!
Just an idea, any input is greatly appreciated!
