Do not OBE when you are...

[shadowatcher]

Things to think about

1. Noone has ever been physically hurt in an OBE (except when they take drugs...)

2. Fear isnt something someone can teach you not to have. Fear is your enemy, and you must learn to love your enemies. One persons "neg" is a nother persons guardian spirit.

3. An OBE is different for everybody. If anybody tells you what an OBE is always like, they lie. Its always diffrent, yet always similar.

It is true that your thoughts and emotions will effect how you perceive the astral. Negative thoughts and fear can make you find yourself in a negative, fearful place. But you cannot be hurt while in the astral. The worst that will happen will be that you become overwhelmed by your fear and wake up in your physical body. It is best to be calm and passive when you are trying and during projection, reguardless of what might happen or what you might see.

I will agree though, if you are in a depressed bad mood it might not be a good idea to try to project until you have brightened up your mood.

Let the aliens abduct you in astral. Why should you be afraid of that?

Beavis, it scares me senseless, weither in astral or not.

fallnangel77, thanks for your input!

Jc84corvette,

There's an old saying that is particularly relevant here - "there is nothing to fear but fear itself." You cannot be harmed on the astral.

As you enter the astral, reality follows thought - if you think there is something to fear, there will be, and you will be afraid. If you think you are about to be abducted by an alien, but you then think that you have a fully loaded RPG launcher with you, then that alien is about to be fragged![]

As has been mentioned many times by Frank, the best state of mind to have when in the astral is one of mild curiosity. You will then be less likely to get stuck in self perpetuating scenarios, and be able to find your way to the higher levels.

It does take a bit of mental dicipline to not react as if you were in the physical world. I remember once while projecting falling from an increadibly high platform, and I remember how my heart raced as I was momentarily gripped with fear, but I did have a guide with me that came to my rescue, and I did also remember that I could always snap back into my body if anything got too out of hand.

Kind regards,
James.

scared or have *bad* thoughts in your head.

I did not try any OBE techs last night because all that I thought about was Aliens and abduction.I really do not know why I thought that way but I tried to stop but it did not stop. Well eventualy it stopped, I thought about sex and the aliens were out of my head. By that time I was almost asleep. I read in many post before that you should not have *evil* thoughts/forces/entities etc in your head wile trying to OBE. That is when a hand grabs you or you OBE and you see Aliens around your bed.


Thanks and remember what I said!
