defining progress?

[Sampson]

Hi,
I have experienced the bright flash of light you talk about on one occasion before, it occurred about a month or two before my first projection.

Previous to the above I had been hearing loud electrical snapping noises at night, which appeared to be internal rather than external, one evening one of these loud static like cracking sounds was accompanied by the bright flash of light that you mention.

My opinion is that as I was becoming more interested in the areas of Oobe, Astral projection, etc by reading and immersing myself in books and thoughts on the subject and generally becoming more open to the possibilities of leaving the physical body I was subconsciously preparing my self spiritually by performing some kind chakra work/preparation to make the leap into the unknown.

In the early stages it felt uncomfortable, shocking and alarming but the more Oobe's that I have had the more this energy activity has calmed down, it is still there but is more controlled and balanced, definite and particular sensations can be felt and focused on which are quite pleasant and almost sensual.

From my experience I would say you are making progress and are getting nearer, don't worry about the flashes or sounds as these would appear to be phenomena that will calm down once they have been worked through (consciously and/or subconsciously) and when you have projected a few times.

Thanks Sampson, i to am reading and i guess preparing for the big leap, i have many answers and a very strong disire to explore and learn.

After many weeks of nothing, i am begining to feel energy changes and slight wobbles.

Last night altho my intention was to sleep, it almost became daylight in my room, lots of not! flashes but light and little bright lights almost like car headlights, lots of swerling masses of light.

As i work in the spiritual and paranormal i am used to seeing spirit lights and movement, but this was some how different.

I usualy wait untill my vison opens then i drop of to sleep.

I will be doing two more practices to day, I realy need to learn more about energys ect, so any usefull links would be much apreciated thanks []

Last night i was listning to Monroe's Gateway program which i have found very good so far.

Half way through! ( I am used to camera flashes and as i am clarvoyant understand a little of why ) Last night there was a clear click! to the left of me was this blinding Flash, I am talking pritty major stuff, not the usual flash this was extream and made me jump and my heart race!
This was late at night 2.20am i started, my room is pitch black and as always to rule out any light or sound my head was under the pillow as i normaly do, with just my mouth and nose uncovered.

My question to the more experenced projectors is: the fact i heard a click and this blinding flash was so bright and made me jump! dose this signify i am making some progress? getting nearer?
Or just a side effect of energys sparking across the Chakras?

Over to you?
