OBE with physical eyes open

[todd421757]

Has anyone ever been successful at having an OBE while having their physical eyes open up until the moment of separation? I have never had it happen to me yet. But, I would like to try.

If you have been successful, please describe how you did it. No "theoretically yes it is possible" responses please. Thank you.

This is a forum mostly aimed at beginners... so probably not.

I can give you a logical response though.

If you stare at one thing/scene long enough, you'll find that your vision will begin to blur, then things will begin to disappear, until you'll see nothing but white.  This is the visual sense shutting down.  Allow this to happen and it's the same as closing your eyes.  So yes, I have no doubt that it's possible.

The PROBLEM is that ignoring what you're seeing is the trouble.

I can't say that I've ever tried getting to an OBE with my eyes open (I don't think I could reach the necessary level of relaxation...the question could be rephrased as 'can you sleep with your eyes open?') but I've accidentally opened my physical eyes during an OBE many times, and found myself staring at an out-of-focus image of the ceiling above me while all other sensations and my bodily awareness came from the astral (in one event I had felt by way blindly down the stairs to the front door, tried to force my astral vision but ended up opening my physical eyes, and I was totally aware of being in both locations at once.)

I talked about this experience I had way way back in my early posts.

I think I may have just reached an F12 with my eyes open. It was purely accidental. I just saw this light shining from a little marble left in the corner from long ago and found it was really easy to shift my point of focus to the back of my mind. I hit F10 relatively quick, by this time. My vision was pretty much tunneled out from not moving my eyes for a couple minutes. Things gotty blurry murky and I snapped myself out of it.

The post I wrote about back in the day was pertaining to crystals. I still think they have this drull new age weirdo stigma to them. Crystal pyramids almost seem cliche. So when I had noticeable effects on my phase attempt after looking through a marble. You could see how this upset me. My culture was challenged alongside my beliefs.

Try a clear marble with light going through it. That's what worked for me as something to help the process along.

Hi yeah I have a couple of times and asked the same question a while back as I was interested like you.
I just gave it a go to see if I could.
It worked really well! I Sat up right in a chair I focused on point in the room and after ten minutes-ish of letting myself kind of go into trance and could feel and see my awareness shifting to a more subtle level I gently willed my self out and it worked.

Once your focus has shifted out you no longer see through you physical eyes obviously as your consciousnesses is else where. I tried agian and it worked no problem,then got bored of it plus I didnt go far as i didnt want to get dry eyes!! lol. The key I believe is being able to practice emptying your mind enough (trance like) to feel your self becoming very loose from your physical body.  

The other things to mention are you may and most likely will start to see shifts in realty ie the floor and walls etc will start to move and wobble as you start to shift from seeing through you physical eyes to seeing purely with you mind and as we know physical reality as we experience it normally isn't really solid, only appears so. But you have to try and acknowledge and let go...not easy to start with ! lol and lastly you will obviously find you may be more likely to, but not exclusively shift into the subtle version of this world as that's where you are focusing. So its ok if you want to visit some where here, but if you want to shift to the astral and beyond then I would say its probably easier to go eyes closed, but as we see from contento's experience ..it could take you further and anythings possible.

When I posted asking about this before I got few of doubters saying it cant be done etc etc...but it can 100% Regards

Thanks Majour Ka. Your information is greatly appreciated    

You are the first one I have read that actually had it happen and not just once but a couple of times.

I am getting very excited about trying out the technique that worked for you. It seems if this can be mastered then etheric vision can be obtained rather easily while living out your daily life as long as the focus is there.

[Contenteo]

The sensation that you use to actual phase (its like falling into the back of your mind) is pretty useful in everyday life. I mean just going there for 30 seconds if you are stressed does wonders. That and some deep breathing. Its like taking a 10 minute walk.

Your curiosity is definitely a very on point one.

How does she do it?

Todd,

I am going to jump in on this conversation about "Open Eyes" during the OBE.

I have done work with video camera's and projecting. Capturing "what goes on" during my experiences.
The majority of the times, my eye lids are closed, and there are times for  a brief flicker my eyes
open but immediately close.

Even at those times when my eyes have opened briefly, I don't remember (during the experience) my eyes
ever opening. From the physical + spiritual  body each one feeds off another so both are tied together and will trigger different responses during separation.

You are more than welcome to visit my web site and download the video content. I also highly suggest other(s) here execute the same experiments. Please note that some of the experiences that I was able to capture on
video tape took weeks, months, or almost a year to obtain. So be patient and have fun with it!

Good Luck,

DW

Frankly, it sounds like too much work, for no apparent reason.  Not answering Todd, since I haven't tried it, just commenting to Xanth here.

It is waaaaay too much work. 

Why bother with keeping your eyes closed when it's a million times easier with them shut?  The end result is even the same!  You don't see physical reality.  LOL

What if you were to get to the point of deep relaxation (theta) then when you feel you may be primed to OBE, THEN you can close your eyes. Would this disrupt the attempt though?

[Contenteo]

I remember that closing my eyes after being in that state with the eyes open, gave me that rocket ship blasting off feeling.

I don't think it disrupts it like opening your eyes does.

This jives because you are decreasing your information intake versus increasing it, helping the "disconnecting" process

It's only happened when I was tired, and was staring at that marble with the light shining through it.

The rest of the room is pristine, but I still left that marble sitting there, kinda out of place. It's there right now. In the corner of the windowsill. Still, upstairs. Just because I had that experience.

Note:I am highly against the whole new age prism thing, but it worked in this case. I can't argue with results like that. I think it has something to do with the light being split up or the photons all crossing at a point. Maybe some phenomenon on the quantum realm. Idk. Just a rambling hypothesis.
