Maybe stupid or not

How many of you keep all this to yourself? I mean I have had one OBE and a few LD's but have never mentioned it to my significant other....I'm sure at sometime I will tell her, just don't know when.

I have been practicing and researching AP for 4 years and there is only one friend i have told in that time because he is the only one that would believe me. I also told my mother once that i was "researching" it but she thought it was nonsense. In college i discussed it with my philosophy professor but the books he read said AP was all in your head. I recommended he read other books.

Yeah... I have to make it sound cool to my girlfriend so she doesn't think I'm a loser. Not that anyone should think OBE'ing is lame, but, when I did first read about it...yeah.

Fortunately for me, all of my close friends think lucid dreams and OBE's are badass, and I talk to them about it a lot. My girlfriend? Sometimes I tell her about my dreams. About OBE's, when I have them, I just tell her "Yeah I had this crazy OB dream and it was freaking weird."

If you say it like that, it's not nerdy at all, and, from what I can tell, a lot of people actually think it's interesting. ho hum.

I'll admit, dating is tough, because it doesn't take long before the fact I "meditate" comes out, and finding someone in my area who doesn't find it strange or off-putting, due to their current religion or complete lack of knowledge and faith in the non-physical. I had a girlfriend who I would share my experiences with, and at first she seemed totally cool with it and even started trying to meditate, but quickly found it boring and I'm sure it was our downfall in the end. Plus, I seem to meet most women through my current group of friends who are far removed from a spiritual life, which doesn't help. And I don't do ditsy. Am I being picky? Or do I need to move?

I'm married and talk to my wife about it. She does not like to talk about anything that involves death though, it freaks her out to think about it. As long as I don't talk to her about OBE on a daily basis she's cool with it.

try explaining to your wife and having her support ya...

it took awhile for my wife to understand and I have been at this for 20+ years..

it is a touchy subject for most people and hard to understand, going beyound physical death. i don't hide anything, i tell it how it is and don't edit myself. the person who you are dating or in love with will understand... they might not support the same belief, just don't rub it in their face 24/7....

Astral Projection is CLASSIFIED.

You cannot discuss the matter with anyone who does not have the proper security clearance.

That is funny

Well my wife already thinks we have a ghost in the house, you know funny sounds when no one is their , lights turning on, that sort of stuff. It might not be a hard sell to tell her about my OBE.

My girlfriendknows all about my beliefs.
I can't say that she shares my beliefs completely, but she respects them enough to let me have my space with them.
I used to keep a website ([url]http://home.ica.net/~rtasker[url], I haven't updated it in several years, but it's all there for anyone wanting to read some articles written by myself and a few others from an old forum I used to frequent) and it's something I showed her from the start.
She's also seen my many books on meditation, astral projection and other things spiritual.

She's a very stressed individual for the most part and I try to help as much as I can in that aspect of her life by massages and getting her to meditate a bit... she doesn't take well to the meditations though. LoL

Anyways...
My suggestion is to feed them small tidbits of information and see how they react to it. If it's a favourable reaction, go further.
Start with talking religion or spirituality in general and see where it goes from there.
