Title: hearing voices
Post by: shadowatcher on July 25, 2003, 06:00:20
my ideas of possible explanations:

1. they are the voices of your family yelling at you to get up...

2. they are creatures in the astral plane (being a bit vauge here, but you didnt describe the voices so i dont know)

3. You are creating them your self through lucid dreaming

thats all i can think of[:)]

Post by: Frère on July 25, 2003, 07:14:45
Well the first is very interesting, but I live on my own and it is very well isolated, so nobody can yell at me.
The second (you mean Vague instead of vauge don't you)
Would suit me but I'm not sure
For desciption I would say they are very far, like an overexposed picture where all is white, and they really speak loud, but not essentially so that I hear them, but I surely would not hear them is they spoke low, once it sounded like a familly which could have been me and my children and woman (which are separated from me and we don't plan right now on going back together) The one who called me was a little girl, and she would call me by my name, (I mean not "papa" (dady))
But this is all Very vague and far, and disapears very easily.

the third... hum I wonder, because I don't think I'm lucid when I hear the voices, if I say to myself "oh I'm starting to hear voices" all fades out.

Try ignoring the voices and thinking about nothing. Dont accept the voices as real, and dont pass them off as nothing. If you ignore them, then my theory is that they will get louder so you can hear them. It works for me sometimes...[8)]

I'd rather think if I ignore them I will fall asleep, There must be something to do in order to remain quiet, without falling asleep... That will be my concern in the next days...

Well, its worth a try really. Do you hear the voices when you wake up early in the morning as well? try doing it then, youll be less likely to fall asleep.
Title: hearing voices
Post by: Frère on July 25, 2003, 07:54:35
Actually in the morning I can feel that I will wake up, and more or less know I will dream a little more, but I could never become lucid and actually watch my dream and say this is a dream... I would like to be able to have lucid dream, but I really don't understand how it can be done. I sometimes ask myself the question in the daytime: am I dreaming, but I'm so sure I'm not that I feel stupid about asking.
Title: hearing voices

Title: hearing voices
Post by: Frère on July 25, 2003, 08:02:03
I usually reply to myself: this is a dream but you don't know it clearly enough to be able to say it is one. Because I know "reality" is an illusion, and that there are more final realities, but I did not experience them, so I still feel like daytime is very far from dream. (I dream a lot, and really apreciate to have all these dreams, even if they are sometimes horrible, maybe I fear becoming lucid in my dreams because of the horrors they often picture!

This happened to me the other day.  As I was going to sleep I felt like I was talking to someone, a guide of some sorts helping me to project.  As I was saying in another post, I don't know if this is a product of my imagination or an actual higher self or guide helping.

You can either accept the voices you hear or decide not to listen to them.  I think I will personally listen to them and see what they have to say, call me crazy [:D].

Frere What you describe sounds like the aural phenomenon thhat sometimes occur before and during a projection.
If ignoring them makes you fall asleep then just accept them but don't try to make sense out of them. Most of the time it's just gibberish and an annoyance although sometimes very distracting and scary.
The bangs, screeches and such are in the same category.

If I remember correctly, it is when your mind is starting to have dream images. Since your mind is alert, you take notice of this and catch glimpes or hear voices.

I FIGURED IT OUT! ACCORDING TO DOCTORS, YOUR INSANE!

Yeah, go figure hehe JK.


The voices can be astral creatures trying to A.talk to you, or b.trying to scare you, they can be real, which I doubt, or they can be hallucinated, as I get all the time. If you start to half listen to hallucinated voices, they will start to come in clearer,(at least for me) and you can make out what they are saying. I actually noticed if I started to create the voices in my head myself and focus on them, they tend to get louder and louder until I hear them as if the person was right next to me, and I can actually hear them with my own ears, not mentally.

If it were astral creatures, Id more assume they were trying to scare you. My personal experience when I was younger was when I was laying in bed, trying to fall asleep, when I hear "LETS CUT OFF HIS HEAD" in a real grungy and creepy type voice. This doesn't sound like a big deal, but keep in mind I was 5 at the time :-
Just ignore them or try and focus to keep yourself awake and make them advantegous

Jilola
Thank you for your post it's a new point of view that I needed
But I can't stop wondering why this voice of a little girl called me..
Title: hearing voices
Post by: jilola on July 25, 2003, 13:52:32
Perhaps there's no reason why it's a little girl's voice.
It's possible that the quality is only your interpretation of the voice and that the (possible) entity is someone else altogether.
Are you now or have you ever been in contact with your higher self or spiritual guide?

Jilola
yes, but not thru voices, I wouldn't mind hearing him mentaly, but for some reasons it only messages me by shivers, dreams, and once I've seen events somehow react to what he made me know.
I feel like these people were having their life besides me, and were not trying to frighten me at all, the little girl (or whatever she is) called me like if she wanted to play with me.
I'm not sure if spiritual guide has something to do with all this, I kinda don't recognise him.

Well, if you've recently started working on AP it's entirely possible your guide to be around trying to help you out.

Post by: Frère on July 25, 2003, 14:45:03
I actually still wonder if my guide is concerned by my trying with APs. After all I don't really know if I have something to do on other planes, I realise that it might be an excellent way to learn more about the things that happend to me these past years, which were quite strange (to make short). But I also have an impression that mabe I don't need AP to work it out, so mabe my guide does't feel like I need to be helped on that topic. But he still might, I'm not sure at all.
Title: hearing voices
Post by: jilola on July 25, 2003, 14:48:18
I see your point.
A guide may assume a form that is interesting and nonthreatening in order to help out someone.
The voice and appearance of a child wanting to play is probably more likely to a) get you curious enough to get out and b) not scare you once you do because the surroundings may leave you a bit shaky.

I'd suggest that you try to reach out and communicate with the entities, especially the child, and find out who they are.

That's a pleasant Idea, thanks for bringing it, but I even doubt I will hear this child again!

by the way, how do you think guides consider their "pupil" wanting to AP? Do you think they need some conditions in order to start helping?
Title: hearing voices
Post by: jilola on July 25, 2003, 14:59:28
That's as maybe. If you do just be friendly and curious [8D]
I doubt you heard your name for no reason although sometimes that't exactly what happens.
I my case I usually don't hear anything but when I do there's always a good reason for it.

Ok I knew that already actually.
But I also doubt I heard my name for no reason
My daughter sometimes calls me mentaly, especially when she cries without an apparent reason, I realised that when my thought go completly off from her during the weekly visit, she starts to feel unease... it might be related to that, but my daughter calls me "Dady" so I'm wanting to believe this "little friend" is not her.
Title: hearing voices
Post by: jilola on July 25, 2003, 15:17:58
Didn't know you had a daughter.
Actually it could very well be her. The limitations we have in our bodies, for example with regards to higher thought, and our behavioural patterns don't necessarily extend to our astral presences.
We are souls and as such much older than thhe bodies we inhabit on the physical.
Your daughter may well be calling you by your name as she may realize that on the astral you're equal and not related by birth as a parent and child.
Someone will be along shortly to prove that I'm completely off the maark  [B)]

actually I would be quite happy to play with my daughter in the astral, since she was probably sleeping when I tried to project, I assume she was in her dreams... And the fact that her voice was so far, seems normal to me as she sees me only once or twice a week.

Anyway irrelevant to these considerations, the child that I saw and heard was really someone I would want to play with, as I felt much happy love in her calling, so focusing on her image while trying to project will sure help me being a little more confident. You see I was afraid of meeting some neg at first, so meeting this child is a real good surprise.

If anyone think it's impossible to be called by a "physical" dreaming child, please mention it!
Title: hearing voices
Post by: jilola on July 25, 2003, 15:36:50
Not impossible at all.  There are several accounts of exactly that on these forums. Pets too, for that matter.

As for meeting negs, I'm with the faction that believes there are none and that they are either projections of our own imagination and fears or that they are basically neutral or friendly entities that our fears transform into these scary creatures.

Initially fear is only natural since the environment is so different and follows a different set of rules.
Nothing can harm you so there really is no need for fear. If you've read the many excellent posts by Frank you know that the single most important thing is to remain calm and detached in the astral. What you think is what you get.

Post by: Frère on July 25, 2003, 17:28:25
I just tryed again to project
I felt a new sensation of vibrations, and my heartbeat accelerating, but my awareness went up, and all faded. Actually I realise my awareness has to be a little fuzzy, but not actually in the dream. I was working with my breathing, thinking of different uninteresting things, when they came all around my insides. It felt great, although the heart beat was a little fast... I really doubt this was my heart chakra as explained in the OBE treetise by bruce robert.
I have seen a little girl again, in a glimpse, from much closer, but she walked behind me very fastly, yet I can tell that she doesn't look like my daughter: the main difference was her haircut, and she seemed a little older. But I wouldn't have thought she looked this way from afar, maybe it was not the same little girl... But I may think this might be the appearance my guide would have chosen, it's strange, but it makes sense to me: I am taught by a little girl! (my daughter forced me to learn very much, but she didn't intend to...)
Title: hearing voices
Post by: jilola on July 25, 2003, 17:35:44
The amount of sensation the heart chakra can cause varies a lot. I've noticed that mine usually doesn't register at all.
The tricky part for me is always the moment when I sense the first indications of separation. I've found it enourmously difficult to remain detached from the sensations.

Perhaps your guide is using the fact that you already attuned to learning from a little girl so assuming that mode would make the first face to face encounters easier.

Remember that in th eastral you're mind changes things so seeing something from afar can lead to you filling in details that arenät there and misinterpreting those that are.

Also, she could still be your daughter but in a form she'd like to be on the physical.

could you please tell me what you mean by tricky a little more in depth? and also I was wondering if people have this concern of how much awareness is needed!

My Guide seems to respond positive thru shivers when it comes to the little girl, so I think that is it, but I can't figure out why I can see her, and not keep the state, but rather move my awareness to some higher point. And I don't understand why the vibrations come at a point which is less deep than the one where I see her: what means her appearance? I don't know, even if I'm glad to have her around while trying to project... she's really one of the best things that happend in my life!
Title: hearing voices
Post by: jilola on July 25, 2003, 17:55:30
What I meant by "tricky" is that the sensations can disturb your concentration and bring you back to being aware of the physical. That will usually bring the projection to a screeching halt.
I've found that the more one tries the stronger the sensations are. This is consistent with the thinking that we always project in our sleep. Since we never feel the sensations, unless we for some reason are almost awake, the stregnth of the sensations seems to be related to the effort and level of consciousness at the time.
When one wakes up in the middle of the separation it seems to result in the "sleep paralysis" and "night terror" phemonena. Sleep paralysis is normal to a sleeping body and prevent it from injuring itself when the mind reacts to it's perceptions.
The night terrors are how the conscious mind interprets the borderline astral environment and can be extremely frightening. They are harmless though.

Since the sensations come before projection it explains why you get them before seeing her. When you've managed to see her you have succeeded in passing through the separation without being aware of it and thus missing the sensations altogether.

Post by: Frère on July 25, 2003, 18:07:17
but I see her before having the sensations: I'm almost asleep, see her, get more awake, the return a little deeper and get the sensation.

If I understand well the more you are aware, the stronger the sensations will be? When you say the more one tries you mean making some effort to achieve projection, not trying often?

If we get "awake during separation" then we have paralizis? but that's about what I just got, and was not paralised, maybe the separation was not started, only the sensation had started. But I guess if you are paralised you can choose to get back to sleep? does it mean that paralisis is a failure for the projection?
Title: hearing voices
Post by: jilola on July 25, 2003, 18:17:50
Sorry I seem to have gotten the sequence of events a bit mixed up.
I the case of you seeing her and then getting the sensations you're probably already seeing into the astral by way of remote viewing or something like that. The the separation begins and you get the sensations to some degree or another.

I believe the exit sensations are related to the difference our mind has from being attuned to the astral. So the more aware of your surroundings you are the stronger the potential difference, if you will, is and this the stronger the sensations are.

About effort. There's another tricky part. If you try to force a projection you will most likely fail due to being too much aware of being in the physical. You will need to be indifferent to the physical level and try to focus on the higher planes. But the act of trying is an indication to you that you're not there thus having the effect of bringing you back to the pysical. It's  but of a zen thing actually. Have you read the posts aboout phasing by Frank? If you then do so.

If you didn't get the paralysis two explanations are possibly in my opinion. Either you passed through to the fully awake level so auickly you didn't notice the paralysis or you weren't deep enough to the paralysis to have started.
the paralysis, if you are aware of it, is not necessarily a n indication of a failed projection. It only means, accoring to Robert Bruce's theory, that the mind separation happened but your physical original was too aware for you to be able to integrate the returning astral bodies experiences.
If you find yourself in the sleep paralysis state there is nothing to stop you from resuming the separation or turning it into a sleep state. Yo can also wake up completely by wiggling your body until you break the state.

What is remote viewing?

"aware of your surroundings" you mean physical surroundings, that's it?

you passed through to the fully awake level
I don't understand this... to the fully awake level would mean we would be heading to awake level, but I assume we are heading to separation, which seem to come at some state less awake than fully awake...

How would you "resume" separation from paralysed state?

There are 6 pages of topics when searching for "phasing" by frank, What posting do you refer to?
Title: hearing voices
Post by: jilola on July 25, 2003, 18:50:58
Remote viewing is seeing with what some call your third eye. In other words you're seeing via the astral without actually being there.

Yes, I meant being aware of the physical.

Yes, you understood correctly. I meant that since you saw the girl you had passed to the astral without noticing the separation. When you then got the sensations you were coming back toward the physical awareness. The sensations are felt by the physical body so coming back to being aware of the physical let you feel the sensations.
You had already gone the other way, ie. toward the astral and were coming back to the physical.

You can attempt  to resume the separation exactly as you would begin attempting the projection from a fully aware state. You need to be able to ignore the sensations and form a firm intent on being in the astral.

Ok, that's much clearer to me thanx
What I did not tell you is that from the moment I saw the girl, and the moment I felt the sensations there has been a while, so I think I saw the girl thru remote viewing, without getting out, I went back to almost full awake state, then I managed to place my awareness at the right level so the sensation start... that's my actualised version.

what about the posting by frank?

When aproaching sleep I hear distant voices, but can never clearly approach them because if I realise I'm "starting to dream" I get more awake and don't hear them anymore. I don't want to hear them in a normal state, but where do these voices come from? they seemed like being voices of people I don't really know, but once I heard one of them call me, so I really wonder: am I creating these voices, or do they somehow exist?
