For those who can astral travel and are trying to more....

[SkepticBoy]

What do you hope to accomplish as you are able to astral travel? what are your goals in the astral realm? what sort of questions do you hope to have answered by trying to OBE more. ty.

My current goal is to OBE into outer space.

Well, first I'd like to successfully navigate the environment, once I figure out projecting on a regular basis.  Next...visit my deceased brother...explore past lives...meet my Oversoul/higher self...go to exotic locations...

Well, when I started doing it 'on purpose' I went into 'exploration' mode, and fell into 'going to teaching temples' and have gone through lesson after lesson in all kinds of 'disciplines', some more conscious than others.
I believe the lessons have to do with bringing what I've learned into waking reality, and also I believe that part of the 'mission' is about 'making the collective unconscious' conscious.  I think teaching as many people as possible how to AP and LD is one way of doing this (and as some of you know, I do this almost compulsively.)
I also have tried 'transmuting' negative energies- not sure if it's been successful, but I've tried it.
Some people are invested in helping souls 'cross over', that doesn't seem to be what I've done, as far as I know, but I don't rule it out as a goal in the 'future'.
Other things too, but they're too personal to share.

   When I first was able to do it on purpose I just explored and went with the flow.  Then I started looking for things I could verify. Sometimes when I get out I will be not even close (physically to my body) or the minute I walk out through a door to outside I will be in a totally different city. So no matter what happens I look for names of businesses, buildings..etc that I can verify. For example today when I got out I didnt even recognize the city I was in, never have been there before in my life. I ran across this fast food place that I've never heard of called "Togo's" and it had some weird logo next to the name, so when I got back I went online and looked it up and sure enough there is a chain of fast food restaraunts of the same name. Another thing I have tried is to glean future lottery numbers (just because its a simple exercise anyway, and something to do when I can't figure out anything else to do) and on occassion have gotten the numbers I could memorize right. It's really hard to memorize 6 sets of digits (at least for me heh).

Not to mention sometimes while out numbers come out backwards instead of 53 you could be looking at 35 (at least in my experiences).  Oh some other things I've done is to get out and go into the upstairs room and look at the television to see if I can see what is on, once I see whats up snap out of it to check it out (and each time I've done this I was successful). One of my other ideas I have yet to try is to go to the whitehouse and snoop around and see what kind of verifiable information I can glean from conversations/notes/reports laying about.

cool ! xD

When i first started to get interested in these things i started to search it up just cause I'm very curious about all sorts of paranormal things. but now my goal is to find someone i lost.. I'm doing it to make sure shes ok.
and after that, I'm searching for knowledge ,adventures and just being silly playing around

I think Monroe once tried to visit the President at the time and was stopped by a psychic bodyguard. Maybe you should be careful?

As for me, I want to do some validations (there's a playing card lying face up on the top of my bookshelf at the moment for this purpose), then I'd like to try visiting Monroe if that's possible, and then I'd like to try visiting someone I know over the Internet, and then I want to do some research on psychic self-defense, as I'm mostly unsatisfied with the information that's publicly available in the physical world. Maybe astral intelligences understand the subject better.

My astral projection journey started about 3 months ago and I have radically changed myself since then.

I have an inner knowing that astral projection is valid so I am not looking for validation so much (Although I have tried to validate for other per their request).

What I am looking for is to go home and be part of the cosmic collective again. I astral project to prepare myself for the state between death and reincarnation and for graduation from earth. It's my belief that humans are in the process of evolving to purely spiritual beings and astral projection is part of that process.

So in other words, astral projection to me is much more than a cool trick and it's much more than us on this planet (IMHO).

Best regards

From my experiences what we call "ghosts" are just people who seem to be temporarily locked into a state of unconsciousness, in a constant dreamlike state where they end up playing out things they used to do while alive. It is my observation that one can bypass this unconscious state of existence when they pass on through gaining control of ones consciousness and awareness through projection. Being locked into this kind of non-stop dream scares me about as much as the thought of hell scares christians.


   I am a moderately intelligent individual and to be without my mind intact and unaware of my surroundings horrifies me. As I said I am of the theory that one can bypass or overcome that through practice and control. I know that more than likely I have a long while to live this life I lead, so I have no wishful thinking about moving on so early... rather while I live this life I should practice, learn, and experience. To entertain me though I figure, I would catelogue everything physically relavent into one journal about the past, present, and future, and everything non-physical in another journal. I see no reason to deny this physical existance or resent it as just a mere stepping stone onto something greater. Sure there is a lot more out there than just this physical life, I know that for a fact but I do not want to become so jaded that I want to move on this minute.

  I want to learn as much as I can from this world, and the other, since I can do both while physically alive so be it. I can't say though if there is a choice involved that I would chose to live another life again immediately... I would take a well deserved break and explore other avenues.

Since I was very little I have always been interested in the 'paranormal'.  My primary reason for attempting to astral travel (not very successfully thusfar) is to simply explore, master, and experience an exciting new realm.  My biggest motivation is boredom, though I have prepared a checklist of things to do when I do eventually succeed.

1. Try to contact my dead grandfather
2. Try to prove mind/body separation for myself through verifying physical hits while in the astral

I believe that we are more than our bodies, but I would still seek to prove that to myself without any shadow of a doubt.

When I first started 3 years ago I had no idea what I was doing, but soon realized I was having an OBE and slowly started experimenting. At first I went to places I knew, traveled the roads I knew around the city. Eventually I started drastically changing my travels, exiting backwards (I know, it's strange) and going to the Akashic Records. I believe I have also gone to at least 1 more plane higher as well. I have had the discussion of "what now" with the guides at the Akashic, and my last visit there, the guide was surprised I wasn't doing more with it in my physical life. Also, my sister went to a psychic and ended up talking about me a lot of the time. The psychic said I needed to stop "Playing around" with astral travel and the guides are waiting for me to decide what path to take with it. She said I had healing abilities (I was a Greek healer in a past life) as well as the ability to predict the future. She said I had to choose which path I wanted to take. I thought I chose the predict the future route but I don't really see any changes so far, other than I haven't been able to get back to the Akashic since then. I believe they block me from there when they want me to explore other places-how can I grow if I keep visiting the same place? Personally, I just want to become more spiritually aware. I want my astral travels to help me better understand our world and the worlds we can astrally visit, and make me a better person. Also it's a lot of fun and I love it
