Discovering your higher self for the first time...

[Anakin]

First I'd like to introduce myself to the community as this is my first post, but then again some of you may already know me. My name is Ryan F. and I am from New Hampshire. I am 21 years old and as we all know every 7 years come great change. I honestly don't even know where to begin with the changes I have been experiencing over the past few years of my life but I'll start with a universal change I know we have all picked up on, the increase or speed in time. Well I have recently stumbled upon the process of astral projection not too long ago and a few months before that I glanced at a book titled, "Dreamwalking", I believe. I don't know what words to describe this, but these ideas of dreamwalking and astral projection have been manifesting in my brain it feels. So I research, research, research and I feel like all this knowledge is already in my body somewhere. Well in my research I discovered the pineal gland and how it is essentially dormant when we're born. I was under the impression people who were "special" was born with special abilities. I could go on forever about the things I learned in the past 72 hours but I'll sum it up like this, picture a lion hunting an animal for food. That lion hunts out of pure instinct. The pineal gland and this unactivated DNA and the astral planes are all connected to the instinct within us.

I want to say that I've had dreams since 2003 about the end days or the end of time. I've had under ten of these dreams since then. I've had weird nervous system tingling feelings like there is more to the body that I'm in. The speed of time increasing is also another sign. I don't my mind is drawing a blank right now, I'm trying to speak from my center but it's hard to express myself. I've never meditated in my life, I don't understand really how it works. I used to be close minded to a spiritual world, where as now I feel so sure. Everything is changing.

I guess what I'm getting to is this, I need help. I've never meditated before in my life, and I never heard the work chakra until 72 hours ago. I don't know how to see my energy body, well I know I need to open my third eye. I would like to find a counselor to guide me through this process until I meet with my higher self, then I, my higher self, will be my own counselor.

What was it like meeting your higher self for the first time? Can you find me in the astral plane while I'm lucid dreaming and help me find my higher self? What are the limits? Forgive me for being naive, this is all new.

Namaste,

Ryan

Just editing out your last name, you give more than enough information for someone to track you down.  ~Xanth

IMO, the higher self is already directing your life in many ways. I first got into this stuff in 2008. From my experience, the best thing you can do is start a dream journal. Seems like you are already into dreaming somewhat. Dreams are a great channel to the intuitive aspects of yourself. Dream recall will lead to an increase in lucid dreams and OBEs... at that point you can ask direct questions and get answers. You should aim to be able to recall one detailed dream a night. I can recall a few a night at this point.

Meditation is just another piece of the puzzle. There are a lot of books out there on meditation, but IMO a good book on meditation won't say much. Just sit in a comfortable position and follow your breath. Count each breath onnnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeee in-breath, twoooooooooo out-breath, up to ten and repeat. Or try repeating a mantra. This will help you develop some metal discipline which is necessary for having controllable nonphysical experiences, where thought = action.

I'm only a year older than you man, I'm still on my own journey. The best advise I can give you is keep learning everything you can. One thing will lead to another. Perhaps the learning never ends.

Ryan i feel like i know you for some reason, anyways look up the nadis' the physic nerves from ancient chinese medicine, also the acupuncture spots before there was even science we had the chakras mapped, they line up to the endocrine glands, the pineal gland stands at the top of the caduceus of zero point energy, yin and yang, the hexagrams the I ching of course, golden dawn it all links together there are many cultures who know of astral projection, its kept underground cause were always out there now here ha. Go through allll that excrement out there, Nibiru ha the molten metal planet, my home.

Since you are starting on it, I'd recommend to learn directly from the source, that will save you a lot of time.

In olden days you either had to stay in India or surrender to a Guru who could visit west and speak English (and charge a huge sum). Now in the days of Internet, everything has changed. The real undiluted and uncorrupted knowledge is available for all.

Meditation is a huge area to explore. Like in every new field you can start with broad concepts. Wikipedia is a good place to start. The there is Google and books.

I found this online book recently , which is quite straight forward without the usual poetry and mystic language you find in Indian texts. I highly recommend it. It will answer most of your questions and its from horses mouth.

(The last 100 or so pages are religious stuff which you can skip)

Or you can start off like most others by reading and following the westernized versions of these techniques, such as Robert Bruce and Monroe. These can be a hit or miss thing, as its their own way of doing AP, but its approachable.

All the best .

I have been researching for about 6 hours straight today, I have been a little obsessive with the topic but I believe it's what I need to do right now, I need to figure out my true intent. I would like to reach out to this community right now and look for a guide within this physical realm. Again, I don't know much about this stuff. I'm on day 4 of studying this topic, I have spent an hour or two each day focusing on my third eye. I'm not too sure what I need to be doing buuuut back to searching for a guide. I have been informing myself and I believe I almost understand the way the frequency works and how we are tuned into the physical realm at this "time". Well I am looking for beginners tips on phasing. Can anyone guide me or lead me in the right direction on the internet?

If you want to be pointed in the right direction, check our Monroe's first two books, Journeys Out of the Body and Far Journeys.

I'd like to thank everyone so far with for all this knowledge you have bestowed upon me. I have been indulging in all this information. I'd like to keep this thread up and keep it going but for now I'd like to let everyone on this page know that I will be starting a journal of my personal experiences. I had my first "experience" last night and it was very unique to myself. I will be starting this journal to find more guidance and to maybe let other people who are interested see just what happens when you begin to find yourself.

Also, I use the name Anakin because in starwars Anakin could of been the exact opposite of what he became. I seek to find my highest intent and not lose sight, exactly the opposite of Anakin in that reguards.

Namaste
