OBEs and Learning.

[LadyLea]

Hi, Timewalker!  And welcome!  I don't know if I can answer your questions because I am a novice at OBE's as well.  However, the main reason I decided to learn to AP/OBE/WILD/anything else is to learn more about myself and the world around me, even that which is unseen by most of us.  I too felt a pull since the age of 10 to develop my abilities.  Maybe in doing so I can help others--which I hope is where my path leads me.  I think it is great that you are seeking answers to your own instincts!  



If your focus your life on hate, anger, and regret, it is only your fault for what you get.

Hi Timewalker,

I too am new here and have some excperience with o.b.es
Next time your lucid in a dream look at your hands and repeat something to the effect of "now im out of body" works great for me as well as others.

As for the potential of expanding the mind and spirit through o.b.es I say the possibiltys are limitless and most certainly a benifit providing resolve!

Happy travels,Andy

I would like to use projection and lucid dreaming to enhance foreign language and academic learning. I've read that one can skim a book and then rapidly process and learn its contents during a lucid dream. I'm guessing a similar technique could be used for foreign language tapes, etc.

I think where I read this was buried in here, but I can't seem to find it now:

If anyone has more information, I'd appreciate the link.

Hi,

Yes there is a method called stereoreading in which you use a computer to scroll text at several tens of thousands of words per minute, which the subconscious mind can store. When you have a lucid dream simply set your intention to remember the book/information you stereoread, or even use your creative ability to "watch" the book as a film, in an imaginary cinema! I *hear* this works from alt.dream.lucid, but as of yet I have not tried... but you can. Check out http://exploreit.net/stereoreading

NB I don't think they give instructions to access it via dreams, but it's fairly obvious what you should do, simply set your intent to see/gain access to the information. Let me know how you do!

Regards
Conn

Ah thanks for the reply's!
Yeah stereo reading is kinda what i had in mind. I was also thinking alongs the lines of: basically your subconsiouss [sp?] retains a lot more information then we find redily available in our available memory (for lack of a better term) I was just curious if you could just access the hidden information stored there and kind of relearn what you already know. im sure the amount of knowledge in everyone is awsome but the only problem is how easily we remember what we want to remember. If one could use obes or lucid dreams to in a sense recap what one already knows but again kinda doesnt (i hope you follow) Thats something that interests me greatly. Any other suggestions on the topic?

If you believe the late great author Douglas Adams, the answer, to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe and Everything is "forty-two."  And more shockignly the question is, "What do you get when you multiply six by nine?"  Turns out there is something fundamentally wrong with the Universe.

But on a more serious note, I too would like answers to vexing questions, like why do I continue to believe relationships will work, why am I overly nice to everyone while foresaking myself?  What would bring me the greatest happiness in this life, and is it true that 2012 is the end of life as we know it on this planet.  

I guess I have a few questions too.

I want to try that relearning thing too! I've tried doing it while awake and in my body with not a whole lot of sucess. My technique is I think to myself "If I knew exactly what I was doing and already knew knew everything, what I would say or do?" I figure it should more successful once I get out of my body and try it out.
about the 2012 thing though, the part about "life as we know it" can really be used to stretch things. You could easily say probably that on 9/11 life "ended as we knew it". Just once I want a world ending prophecy that is really exact. Something like,"ok, first there's gonna be an 7.8 anearthquake that's epicenter is three miles north of the middle of L.A. Then a day later scientists will find a three leged bear in the amazon. The day after that the sky will open up over times square in New york and bright angels with large swords will file out just as N*SYNC comes on TRL. Carson Daily will make some comment about this timing isn't an accident. Everyone on earth will get a telepathic message from God saying how we've been every oppertunity to be good, but this is it. The last thing everyone will hear is God muttering, "Treat others as you would be treated. How hard is that?"" see that works better. taaa!

ps. If anyone read what was here before and was at all offened I'm really sorry.

ah someone where actually thinks like i do =]
hey nate if you find out a way lemme know!

Hello everyone!
Well this is my first post and id like to say what a great site! Anyway a little background information. Ever since i was younger (im only 21 now)i felt (still do) that i am always "searching for an answer, without the question" i dont know if that makes sense but thats what it feels like. The mind has always amazed me. There are many times when i lay awake at night thinking of rationale on the concept of time and space and reality. Anyway about 3 months ago my curiousity led me to the internet where i just started randomly searching for some type of anser on the ideas of time and reality. Somehow from there i ended up on Astral Dynamics and bought the book which i enjoyed a lot. To date, i have had numerous Lucid Dreams but no OBE (yet!). I was just curious though, if any of you have ever tried to use OBE's as an accelerated learning tool? or to help make knowledge more accesible? I am a firm believer that there are many "unsolves" when it comes to what the mind is capable of. Right it kinda feels like something is blocking me from reaching my full potential and i would like to use OBEs to possibly help remedy this. Does anyone else have experience in learning while projecting or while Lucid? Thanks all!

Edgar Cayce could memorize the contents of a book just by touching it (allegedly) how cool would that be?
I'm going to try the LD technique hope it works I'm well stresses with my upcoming exams.
